Curriculum leaders outline focus on data literacy, instructional coaching and measurable technology goals
Summary
Dr. Moore described the district's strategic emphasis on personalization and adult expertise, highlighting three pillars—data literacy, adult collaboration and goal-setting—expanded instructional coaching roles, use of PSAT data to guide curriculum revisions and a near-final technology plan with measurable grade-level goals.
Dr. Moore told the Board the district is moving from pilot work toward scaling curriculum improvements, with personalization and adult expertise as the two strategic priorities driving next steps.
He described three critical pillars the district has emphasized: "data literacy in a continual improvement context," adult collaboration and goal setting. Dr. Moore said the district introduced four or five new data systems this year to bring student achievement and experience data to the surface and that PSAT results are being used to target curriculum revisions and summer work.
Dr. Moore outlined an expansion and formalization of instructional coaching: the district grew from two coaches to a broader coaching footprint that soon will be present in every building, including K–8 literacy coaching and secondary-level chairs and interventionists being deployed as coaches. He highlighted common ELA units for grades 3–5 and plans to bring those units to K–2.
On technology, Dr. Moore said the district has a near-final plan that will set specific, grade-level measures for technology literacy and will track whether classroom practice is producing measurable student outcomes rather than simply increasing screen time. He said the curriculum office will continue to link data, coaching and focused goal-setting to demonstrate measurable benefits for student achievement.
