District outlines math pathways, career kits and SEL plans; Innovation Team to refine rollout
Summary
Corvallis School District staff described plans to preserve math pathways at smaller schools using flipped and asynchronous models, introduce hands-on career "kits" for grades 5–6, adopt "Second Step" SEL curriculum and track success with Youth Truth surveys and Profile of a Graduate metrics.
District staff said smaller K–8 sites will preserve access to Algebra and Geometry for advanced students through flipped and asynchronous instruction, allowing advanced students to stay on the same academic pathway as those in larger schools. The plan includes hands-on career exploration "kits" for 5th and 6th graders (examples: forensics, veterinarian) run in four‑hour exploration cycles aligned to career clusters.
On social-emotional learning, the district reported moving toward the "Second Step" curriculum and exploring restorative-justice and peer-tutoring models; staff emphasized teaching digital citizenship to address online bullying and predatory behavior. Success metrics noted for the Innovation Team to monitor include science and math test scores, Youth Truth survey responses on "relevance of learning," and alignment to the district's Profile of a Graduate.
