Summary

District curriculum staff said 69 teachers participated in curriculum writing across content areas, curriculum maps and pacing calendars were updated to ensure key standards are covered before April, and district plans include data teams, differentiation strategies and embedded coaching to support instruction.

District curriculum staff reported that 69 teachers participated in curriculum-writing work across content areas and grade spans and that updated curriculum maps and pacing calendars are available in the curriculum warehouse for teachers to use at the start of the school year. The maps are intended to show a year‑at‑a‑glance and to embed guidance for data‑team work, with an emphasis on ensuring significant content is covered before April break to align with spring assessments.

Staff said the next phase emphasizes differentiation and embedded coaching. The district will roll out differentiation strategies over the next months, include enrichment options for students who have mastered content, and integrate supports for multilingual learners. For elementary grades K–3, the district described an ELA block of roughly 120 minutes; math blocks and high‑school block scheduling remain in place with ninth grade receiving a two‑semester ELA approach and algebra spread across two semesters to blend prerequisite skills.

To support teachers, staff plan formal data teams built into district days, administrator cohort time to synthesize teacher team findings, and a dashboard being developed by the data management team to provide a one‑stop shop for school and student data. Staff emphasized that teachers and administrators will monitor progress throughout the year and that the district expects to see professional, formative indications of progress before statewide test scores are available (state results are handled separately by the Department of Education and may be released later).

No formal committee action was taken; staff said they will continue to refine pacing calendars, add teacher names to social studies materials for collegial follow up, and proceed with differentiation and coaching implementation.
