This continuum is to be used as a MINIMUM guideline for compliance with local content standards and State standards; however,
teachers may want to supplement this information as long as all local and State standards from the following pages are completely
met by the end of the thirty-six week course. The science teachers are also required to cover the State Department wellness
objectives. The suggested teaching schedule must be followed in order. Each teacher must teach an AIDS/HIV unit during the
school year. This continuum of skills is used as a documentation source for coverage of the State required content standards. A
copy of this continuum of skills must be attached to your lesson plan book so that you can enter dates as the standards are taught.
