COURSES OF STUDY REVISIONS

As part of the District’s mission for high achievement, we engage in routine, consistent, and continuous curriculum development. Over the course of the 2021–22 school year, the District revised English Language Arts and Mathematics curriculum for grades K–12. For each, a committee of teachers and administrators representing all grade-levels and school buildings was formed to review student achievement, alignment of our curriculum with the standards, and post-graduation goals and objectives for students.

With those considerations, the committees reviewed available curricular materials and resources to support high achievement for all students with a focus on alignment with the curricular standards. Teachers reviewed research and third-party reviews of materials, visited other schools (both in-person and virtually) to observe materials in practice, and piloted resources within their classrooms.

Prior to recommendation for adoption to the Board of Education, the community was invited to review the ELA and Mathematics materials in fall 2021 and spring 2022, respectively.
