Georgetown ISD outlines literacy framework, adds Amplify phonics after first-year implementation challenges

Chief Academic Officer Heather Freine told trustees at a May 4 Georgetown ISD workshop that year one of the district's new curricular resource required extensive problem-solving and that next year the district will shift from assessment design toward classroom instruction and clearer teacher supports. She said staff will embed unit assessments into curriculum documents and add a supplemental phonics program, Amplify, to strengthen foundational reading skills.
