Summary
Dr. Hayes, superintendent of Haverford Township SD, told WHHS radio the district will present a social studies curriculum audit to the board at its next meeting and that the review incorporates student, family and teacher input.
Dr. Hayes, superintendent of Haverford Township SD, said the district will present a social studies curriculum audit to board members at the board meeting tomorrow.
"We have a social studies curriculum audit that we're presenting to the board members tomorrow," Dr. Hayes said, noting that assistant superintendent Miss Saxa and supervisors led the work and that the presentation includes survey feedback from students and families.
The audit, Dr. Hayes said, is part of efforts to show how curriculum changes align with the district's strategic plan and to demonstrate student outcomes. "It's not just what we think or observe, but also what students, and families and teachers think and see too," she said.
Dr. Hayes described the presentation as intended to give board members a "comprehensive view" that ties survey results and classroom observations to recommendations. She cautioned that proposed changes that are judged successful may require targeted resource allocations and said the district aims to keep board members informed to help make those decisions.
The superintendent emphasized the district solicits student input as part of curriculum reviews: "We consult students on it. We get the input from them, from the families," she said. The radio hosts noted the audit is on the board agenda for the meeting tomorrow.
The next procedural step is the board presentation; Dr. Hayes did not describe any formal vote or timeline for implementation during the interview.
