District outlines curriculum-adoption schedule: ELA pilot, world language review, social studies adjustments
Summary
District staff told the board about ongoing curriculum-adoption work across departments: a 10th-grade ELA pilot, world-language resource review (first update in decades), social-studies tweaks, and an updated visual mapping tool to show upcoming adoptions.
District staff gave the Manitowoc School Board an update on the curriculum-adoption cycle, saying several departments will pilot and recommend new instructional materials in the coming months.
Highlights in the report include a 10th-grade English language arts pilot beginning in the second semester that will engage all 10th-grade teams; staff expect to bring a recommendation to the board around March with materials open for a 30-day public review before final approval. World language departments, which staff said have not had new resources in roughly 20 years, will review options and are expected to bring recommendations for materials review in February or March. High school social-studies teams are examining standards realignment and potential tweaks to resources adopted last year.
Staff said they will update a visual curriculum-adoption map so board members — including future members — can see what is next in the adoption cycle. The district emphasized that any recommended materials and associated purchases will return to the board for formal approval after piloting and the 30-day materials review period.
