Curriculum Review Cycle

 Curriculum Review Process

 

Curriculum review is an opportunity for teachers to dedicate time to learning more about instruction as it relates a particular content area, spend time analyzing data to determine areas of strength and opportunities for growth and to examine resources to see if there are materials that better support instruction than what we currently have in place.  Since 2015, once a content area “begins” curriculum review, its work will be ongoing.

Check out the work that departments have engaged in since 2015-2016.
