Board to consider updated 6–8 math and weightlifting curricula at next meeting
Summary
Staff presented updated sixth through eighth-grade math curricula (pre-algebra and algebra 1) and a new weightlifting curriculum for high school and middle school; the materials were developed by teacher teams and will be brought forward for approval at the next board meeting.
District instructional staff presented updated curriculum documents for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade math (pre-algebra and algebra 1) and a weightlifting course curriculum created by teacher teams and facilitated by district instructional coaches.
Teachers used newly adopted textbooks and resources to develop the math documents; the weightlifting curriculum was created by high-school and middle-school weight-room teachers together with the district athletic trainer and has already been implemented in summer training sessions. District staff said both curriculum documents will be presented to the board for approval at the next scheduled meeting.
Why it matters: curricular updates reflect recent textbook adoptions and aim to standardize instruction across buildings. The weightlifting curriculum will be used in fitness and conditioning classes at both secondary buildings.
Next steps: staff will present the finalized documents for board approval at the next meeting and will continue to support teachers with implementation.
