2. K-12 Language Arts Curriculum Adoption
Discussion:
Members of the Language Arts Curriculum Committee shared their experience to date in rewriting the Curriculum, a Style-Guide and the Scope and Sequence. They shared the struggles as well as triumphs in finding just the right verbage, aligning reading, writing, speaking/listening and language across the K-12 span, increasing the expectations of rigor, and the opportunity to visit in a K-12 setting. Although everyone was pleased with the products, they were very grateful for the opportunity to visit as a department.
After questions and discussion, the curriculum committee voted to send the curriculum to the full Board of Education for approval at the December meeting.
