13. PRESENTATION OF CURRICULUM REVIEW CYCLE & SELECTION PRESENTATION
Presenter:
Julie Critz, Consultant will be introduced by Nick Gugisberg Committee Member
Description:
The Minnewaska Stategic Roadmap approved May 23, 2018 identifies providing rigourous, relevant and personalizided learning as one of the four most important focuses of the work we do as a school district.
Planning around three topics shown below is some of the most important work we can do.
With COVID-19 slowing the work of the district since February 2020, not much work has been done in this area. Recently, Julie Critz (previously a Director of Teaching and Learning and Superintendent of Schools) was requested to work with MAS as a consultant assisting the District in addressing the development of a Curriculum Review and Selection cycle and in developing a system that allow us to benchmark the work we do against other similarly sized districts with similar demographics with MAS.
At the February 3, school board workshop, Julie met with the principals and the school board's curriculum committee to share the work currently underway. Julie will be in attendance to share with the entire school board the focus of the work underway now as well as what is planned going forward . Board members on the committee include Nick G, Amanda O. and Angie R. They may have comments as well. This item does not require action and is intended to be interactive. |
