District to adopt MC3 competency-based social studies in middle school
Summary
The administration proposed adopting MC3 (a competency- and project-based social studies resource) for middle school; current textbooks from 2014 and 2018 will be retained alongside MC3. The Curriculum Committee supported the recommendation.
Administrators proposed adopting MC3 as the approved middle-school social studies curriculum, describing MC3 as a competency-based, project-based learning resource that districts have used to improve scores when implemented. The transcript notes the district currently uses MC3 alongside textbooks from 2014 and 2018 and that the textbooks are "not that old" but less helpful for the current instructional approach.
The Curriculum Committee agreed the shift toward competency-based and project-based learning would better align instruction with mastery demonstrations and real-world projects. The committee supported moving forward with MC3; any materials or adoption steps requiring Board approval will follow district procedures.
