Monson subcommittee reviews 10 ELA curriculum samples, plans pilots and demos
Summary
Subcommittee members began narrowing ELA curriculum options on Jan. 13, reviewing 10 product samples, scheduling publisher demonstrations, and planning to pilot top candidates with teachers and students before selecting a preferred curriculum by the end of May.
The Monson School Committee Curriculum Subcommittee reviewed the process for selecting a new English language arts curriculum during its Jan. 13, 2026 meeting. The subcommittee is starting with 10 product samples, expects publisher demonstrations, and plans to narrow the list to roughly two or three top candidates for possible classroom pilots.
Members discussed gathering feedback from teachers and from students who try sample lessons before making a recommendation. The minutes state the committee hopes to choose a single top curriculum by the end of May 2026 and is also considering whether any adopted program would cover kindergarten through grade 8 or grades 3–8 only.
No formal selection or vote was taken at the subcommittee meeting; the committee described the current phase as an early-stage review with planned demonstrations and pilots to follow.
