Secondary ELA materials review: teachers to narrow choices by Feb. 2026 and recommend pilot in March
Summary
MS/HS English teachers prioritized engagement, accessibility, project variety and real‑world writing; staff will narrow candidates by Feb. 2026, pilot in March, recommend in March, and seek approval in April for implementation in May.
Barton (staff member) said the district surveyed middle‑ and high‑school English teachers to identify priorities for new secondary English Language Arts materials, including project variety, engaging texts, accessibility for all learners, authentic writing tasks, and deeper study opportunities.
Staff reported that each level selected three programs to examine; teachers will use professional development days to evaluate options, narrow choices by February 2026, pilot options in March, bring a recommendation in March, seek board approval in April, and implement new materials in May. Staff noted Study Sync could remain if it supports full‑novel instruction.
