Hi Tom, 

I have an idea for you which may help solve your problem. The idea is to use
a rubric or benchmark standards to assess each student's progress. This can
be put into a file an travel with the student through your program. This way
the teachers can structure their lessons to meet these standards, there is a
file that shows each student's progress and this file can be used to
illustrate the goals and objectives of the school and how they are being
met. 

This can be introduced in a way that the teachers do not feel like you are
telling them they have to teach a certain way, but that their students must
have certain quantitative skills that are documented throughout the class. 

I know that as an instructor I value my freedom and the ability to be
flexible. However, I will teach everything I need to in order to meet or
exceed a standard. If you are interested I have included a link to WIDA,
they have a series of rubrics organized by grade level, subjects and skill
areas. It is for K-12, but you should be able to find some parallels for you
program and adapt them. With this approach, you don't have to come up with a
curriculum. I hope this helps.
