Board hears curriculum feedback and reports strong progress on district blueprint
Summary
Staff updated the board on community feedback for a proposed English course resource and said Charles County Public Schools is exceeding state growth measures in several blueprint metrics, including national board certification and pre-K enrollment.
At the May 13 meeting, district staff provided an update on community feedback for a proposed curricular resource, English 3D, and reported on implementation progress for the district blueprint.
Ms. Hoffman, English language development content specialist, and Kevin Lowndes, chief of teaching and learning, summarized community feedback on the proposed English 3D curricular resource. The transcript records the board receiving that update; no vote or adoption decision occurred during the meeting.
Chris Miller, blueprint implementation coordinator, reported that Charles County Public Schools is exceeding Maryland’s statewide averages in multiple blueprint measures. The presentation cited an 860% increase in teachers becoming National Board Certified teachers in the district compared with a 302% increase statewide, and a 115% increase in 3- and 4-year-olds enrolled in full-day pre-K versus a 53% increase across the state.
Board members praised the reported progress; the updates were informational and will guide future curriculum and implementation planning.
