Performance Measures:

  • Yearly focus on one content area for the purposes of an audit of the fidelity of the alignment and implementation.
  • Feedback from teachers in core teams, vertical teams, and curriculum audits.
  • Analyzing data from MAP scores and district benchmark assessments

Fidelity Measures:

  • Regular check-ins and reviews by the Assistant Superintendent, along with District Instructional Coaches at the building level via walkthroughs and feedback.
  • Evaluations of classroom data at the end of each unit after implementation in PLCs
  • Analyzing MAP data and district benchmark assessments.

Reflections:

BOY: We are currently in the final stages of completing the math curriculum audit and determining program resource purchases. The science curriculum review and core team process are scheduled to begin in the second semester of FY26. At this time, core teams are meeting on an as-needed basis, with increased collaboration occurring in middle-level math. While this flexible model has supported immediate needs, core team meetings are not yet occurring through a consistent, systemwide structure. As we move forward, we may need to implement a more formal and scheduled approach to ensure all core teams engage in ongoing, collaborative review and alignment.
