Committee reviews revised curriculum maps, including new high-school robotics course
Summary
The committee examined revised curriculum maps—family and consumer sciences, updated personal finance, new social studies offerings—and a brand-new high-school robotics course; members agreed to move maps to the full board agenda.
The curriculum committee reviewed a set of revised course maps and agreed to forward them to the full board for consideration in August. The presenter walked through updated family and consumer science maps, rewritten personal finance aligned to state standards, and several new social studies courses.
On the high-school side, staff introduced “the robotics course that's being added at high school this year,” describing it as a brand-new CTE curriculum offering. Committee members praised the depth of the CTE and career-preparation focus in the maps and signaled support for placing the items on the August full board agenda.
A committee member commented on a Popular American Culture course and its sequencing; the presenter said the course is sequential and connects students’ current experiences to historical cultural developments, which staff believe will help relevance and instruction. The committee did not take a formal vote but indicated the recommendation to move the maps forward.
