What to teach in Oklahoma

Courses that cover the core subjects

Oklahoma names no subjects, so nothing here is required of you. This is the sequence this site teaches, offered as a default rather than an obligation.

Mathematics

English

Science

Social studies

Each is planned as a 36-week year of about 180 sessions, five a week — the year 20 of the 21 course guides set out explicitly. How long a session runs is yours to set.

Does this meet the hours?

Instruction must be provided 'for the full term the schools of the district are in session' (generally treated as 180 days). The Department of Education suggests about 6 hours per day, adjusted for age, as a recommendation only.

Each course here plans a 36-week year of about 180 sessions, five a week — the year 20 of the 21 course guides set out explicitly. The length of a session is left to you, because a Grade 6 session and a Grade 12 one are not the same thing.

Four such courses run across the same 180-session year, so a four-course year meets Oklahoma's 180 days without any arithmetic: the days are the calendar, not a total to accumulate.

The four high school years

In most states the parent issues the diploma and writes the transcript, which makes the four-year plan the record — there is no school registrar keeping one for you. A full sequence of these courses looks like this.

Four subjects across four years is 16 full-year courses. Credits, grades and the diploma itself are Oklahoma's business, not this site's — what Oklahoma says about diplomas and transcripts.
