It is that time of year again, we will be planning and beginning our 18 month curriculum review cycle with a new content focus. As you can all recall, last year we wrapped up the K-12 ELA review and are still in the process the of piloting ELA materials for K-5. While continuing to conduct the pilot and make ELA decisions at the K-5 level this year, we will also begin a new review cycle. This year we will focus our efforts for the curriculum review cycle on the following content areas:
K-5:
Grammar Study
Word Study
Cursive
Social Emotional Learning
6-12:
Math
Being part of this curriculum review committee entails the following tasks:
-Participating in mapping of the units of study or continuum in the content area
-Vertical articulation meetings with content area job alikes
-Review of teaching tools to support the mapped units of study
-Co-drafting a proposal for funding for the Board of Education
This committee will kick off for the school year on September 30th with an all day meeting K-12 at Meredith. The schedule for further meetings will be determined at our first meeting with teacher suggestions and input on the planning of the work time. If you are interested in being a committee member please contact Sarah Mumm for K-5 and Patrick Raleigh for 6-12. We strive to allow all volunteers to be part of the process, but at times due to difficulties getting subs for the work and trying to balance the allocated funding for paid curriculum hours, we do need to have staff that represent others and are not able to all participate. Please let us know if you have an interest in this committee by September 9th so we may confirm with staff their participation. We look forward to a great new year of dialogue and review.
