These guide lesson goals and proof habits. Dungeon Academy should not claim state approval or accreditation from them.
Sources and Review
Where the school gets
its academic footing.
Families should be able to see the difference between a playful wrapper and the academic sources behind a lesson. This page sets that standard.
Review promise
We should promise transparency, not vague neutrality.
Some topics have straightforward answers. Others depend on evidence, interpretation, and context. The curriculum should show sources, name uncertainty, and correct mistakes.
References listed here guide content design. They do not mean Dungeon Academy is endorsed, accredited, or approved by those organizations.
Source library
Starting references for curriculum design
Humanities lessons should prefer primary sources, museum collections, archives, and clearly attributed interpretations.
Sensitive topics need more visible sourcing than basic arithmetic. History, civics, culture, economics, science-in-society, and ethics lessons should carry source notes before broad release.
Review rules
How sensitive content should be handled
A date, definition, measurement, or quotation should be treated differently from an argument about causes, meaning, or impact.
History and civics lessons should not hide disagreement. They should explain when responsible sources interpret evidence differently.
When possible, lessons should cite archives, museums, universities, government collections, peer-reviewed sources, or established educational frameworks.
The better promise is transparency: show sources, acknowledge uncertainty, correct errors, and avoid one-sided presentation.
A parent should be able to see where a claim came from without reading internal notes or technical implementation details.
When a lesson is materially wrong or incomplete, the page should be updated and the correction should be visible in the content review notes.
By subject
Not every subject needs the same source treatment
Worked examples, correct answers, diagrams, units, and proof language.
Usually does not need lesson-level sourcing unless the lesson uses a real-world dataset.
Current science standards, reputable science education sources, and clear separation between observation, model, and claim.
Avoid overstating certainty. Name what evidence can and cannot prove.
Primary sources, archives, museum collections, and multiple responsible interpretations.
Use extra review for contested events, identity, conflict, law, religion, and politics.
Current digital-learning guidance, model-literacy concepts, safety practices, and examples kids can reason about.
Avoid hype. Teach limits, data questions, and human judgment.
Museum collections, artist examples, vocabulary, critique practices, and cultural context.
Attribute examples clearly and avoid presenting one tradition as the default.
Public standard
Lesson pages should eventually carry their own source notes.
This page sets the policy. The next content step is to add lightweight, lesson-level source notes for humanities and other charged topics before those lessons become central to the paid school.
Curriculum trust
Use sources, outcomes, and safety together.
The source policy only works when it is tied to a clear academic promise and honest child-safety boundaries.
Open learning outcomesBest next step for checking what all this source work is supposed to produce.
