Board adopts Amplify 6–8 ELA curriculum for middle schools
Summary
The board approved the district's adoption of the Amplify 6–8 English-language-arts curriculum and discussed a training timeline to have teachers prepared before fall implementation.
The Board of Education voted to adopt the Amplify 6–8 English language arts curriculum for middle school students. District curriculum staff described a multi-step review that included teacher input, vendor demonstrations and alignment checks with the science of reading; the motion to adopt was approved by roll call as part of consent/action items and passed unanimously.
Curriculum staff and district leaders said the plan includes winter and spring training with refreshers in August so teachers are formally trained before the next school year. As presenter Dr. Martin said during the discussion, the adoption move “is one step closer” to coherent K–12 ELA instruction, and staff emphasized alignment with district writing and assessment initiatives.
