Curriculum committee: midyear benchmarks underway, highlights to resume in February
Summary
District curriculum staff said teachers are administering midyear benchmarks to track student growth and will resume sharing curriculum highlights in February. The update listed plans to revisit goals for instruction and student growth targets.
Curriculum staff told the Board's curriculum committee that January is a time for renewing focus on instructional goals and student growth targets. "All teachers are in the process right now of administering midyear benchmarks, gathering information on how students are performing in relationship to the goals that were set for them for the year," a presenter said.
The presenter said small snapshots from midyear assessments will indicate student growth and that the district plans to resume publishing curriculum highlights in February to inform the public about programs and initiatives happening in schools.
