District updates curriculum cycle, AI guidance and prepares for ED‑306 changes
Summary
The committee heard updates on the Curriculum Management Plan (K–12 cycle, world languages, fine arts), district AI guidance and planned teacher training, and preliminary implications of New Hampshire ED‑306 minimum standard revisions affecting competency‑based education and graduation requirements.
District curriculum leaders and Assistant Superintendent Nicole Doherty updated the Teaching & Learning Committee on progress implementing the Curriculum Management Plan and on several system‑level initiatives.
Elementary highlights included work on K–5 math and ELA cycles, alignment to SHAPE standards for physical education, and plans for an outcome‑based contracting pilot. Middle‑school presenters said world language is in year 2 of the curriculum cycle and several resources are being piloted across grades 6–12 with unit frameworks, common assessments and quarterly teacher/student feedback sessions planned.
The district reported a summer effort to align an internal AI policy and guide with the New Hampshire Department of Education’s AI framework; additional AI guidance for teachers and an AI professional‑development session are scheduled for Nov. 4. District leaders said they will continue to work with IT and instructional directors to establish best practices for classroom AI use.
Presenters also summarized the approved ED‑306 (ED 306) minimum standard revisions and noted forthcoming impacts: transition toward competency‑based education, potential revisions to graduation requirements and changes to career and technical education (CTE). The district will continue crosswalk work and make ED‑306 implications a standing agenda item moving forward.
