What is a Year-At-a-Glance (YAG)?
Year-at-a-Glance (YAG) is a document that informs parents and students of the recommended pacing and content standards for selected courses. It includes the topics to be taught and a list of instructional resources. The YAG is only a recommended pacing guide; school leaders and teachers make the final decision regarding the pacing of any program of study. The classroom teacher is always the best source of information regarding content and pacing. The YAG is supplied as a model of one recommended path to the completion of a course.
