    18. 18 Curriculum Review and Adjust Each year prior to the formal curriculum evaluation phase, the curriculum is reviewed by teachers, instructional coaches and administrators. This review includes an analysis of student achievement data, vertical articulation of concepts, alignment, and pacing. Recommendations and rationale for adjusting the curriculum are sent to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Recommendations that warrant change are made. Adjustments are made on eCurriculum prior to the announced date for the annual rollover to the subsequent year.

    19. 19 Curriculum Evaluation The purpose of curriculum evaluation is to determine its quality and effectiveness in supporting student achievement. Curriculum evaluation will guide the curriculum revision process. See handout for steps in this process.

    20. 20 Steps in the Curriculum Evaluation Process The Directors of Curriculum and Instruction facilitate the curriculum evaluation. Evaluation teams are formed. Members include administrators, instructional coaches, classroom teachers, special education teachers, ELL teachers, media specialists, and instructional technology coaches. Meetings are set and the schedule is shared with team members and administrators. Student achievement data and relevant research articles are gathered by the Director of Curriculum and Instruction in collaboration with the Director of Research and Assessment. Achievement data and research is studied by the team members. Findings are summarized and presented to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. The curriculum is reviewed based upon the findings. Recommendations for curriculum revision are made by the team. Recommendation are finalized and presented to the Chief Instructional Officer.

    21. 21 Curriculum Materials Study and Piloting During the school year prior to the adoption year, potential curriculum materials are studied. Piloting of curriculum materials may occur during this study year. The purpose of the study and piloting is to gather information on the quality of materials from various publishers and/or programs. Teachers who participate in the curriculum materials study and piloting are expected to participate in the adoption process the following year. Piloting is done at no cost to the district.

    22. 22 Curriculum Development (Formal Re-Write) Process The Directors of Curriculum and Instruction will facilitate the curriculum-writing process and committees during the years designated on the Curriculum Review and Revision Cycle.

    23. 23 Steps in the Curriculum Re-Write Process Curriculum writing teams are formed. Invitations are sent to principals and teachers describing the revision process and eliciting participation in the work. Participants are selected based on demonstrated performance and attention is given to equitable representation of schools. Once the writing teams are formed, presentations are made to the committees on the following: District vision of curriculum, assessment, instruction, and professional development Show-Me Standards and most current state curriculum standards/competencies Recommendations from the curriculum evaluation process MSIP required curriculum components. See MSIP Curriculum Checklist. Writing tasks are defined.

    24. 24 More Steps in the Curriculum Re-Write Process The first draft is reviewed by the teacher committees. The second draft is sent to schools, administrators, community members, and parents for a broader review. Recommendations for further changes are received and revisions to the curriculum are made. A final draft is presented to the board of education. Upon board approval, the curriculum is presented to schools. The curriculum will be accessed and managed on the eCurriuclum web site and linked to the district web site where it can be viewed by administrators, teachers, parents, students, and community. The curriculum will be managed by the Directors of Curriculum and Instruction.

    25. 25 More Steps in the Curriculum Re-Write Process Revisions should be entered in eCurriculum prior to the announced date for the annual rollover to the subsequent year. It will be the responsibility of the building and district administrators to monitor the implementation of the curriculum with support from instructional coaches and facilitators as appropriate. See the implementation plan.

    26. 26 Curriculum Resources/Textbook Adoption Process The adoption process may be conducted concurrently with the curriculum re-write process. The board approved Curriculum Resources/Textbook Adoption Cycle provides long range planning for the acquisition of resources for curriculum implementation. This ensures equitable distribution and use of instructional resources that are up-to-date and aligned with curriculum. During the adoption year, teachers are invited to participate on content area adoption committees. The work of the adoption committee is guided by the procedures and criteria outlined in the Curriculum Resources/Textbook Adoption Committee Handbook. The purpose of the adoption committees is to study available resources and make recommendations that will be presented to the board of directors for the purchase of materials. Upon the school board’s approval, the adopted materials are purchased for the upcoming school year.

    27. 27 Professional Development and Implementation: Newly-Adopted Curriculum and Resources Professional development follows closely after the school board has approved the adoption. Stages of professional development include: Overview of the newly-adopted curriculum and newly-adopted curriculum resources/program in May for existing teachers Overview of the newly-adopted curriculum and newly-adopted curriculum for new hires in the August In-depth training on the first unit in the curriculum prior to the beginning of school Professional development is also planned and conducted throughout the implementation year on embedded professional development, “Early-Release Wednesdays” and district professional development days. It will be the responsibility of the building and district administrators to monitor the implementation of the curriculum.

    28. 28 Courses Description Guides: New Courses and Curriculum The Course Description Guides for Middle and High Schools will be revised each year in the fall and presented to the board for approval no later than the December board meeting. Requests for new courses can be submitted in the spring of the prior year to the revision of the Course Description Guides.
