Membership will include at least one classroom teacher from each elementary school, one core teacher and one elective teacher from Wydown Middle School, and two teachers from the High School. To insure appropriate representation, the Assistant Superintendent in consultation with principals, appoints additional teachers as necessary to serve one-year terms. Curriculum Committees Curriculum study must be an ongoing process if the School District of Clayton is to develop and maintain quality programming which meets the challenges of our fast-paced and changing world. Therefore, Curriculum Committees, comprised of representative teachers, parents and administrators, meet regularly during the year to study current research and practice in the field and work toward yearly goals. Pre-kindergarten representation is included as appropriate.
Additional committees serve areas such as early childhood and libraries.
The curriculum coordinator serves as chairperson of the curriculum committee. Coordinators are appointed for three-year terms. At the expiration of the term, the position is posted, and nay teacher may apply, including the current coordinator. A team comprised of coordinators, administrators, committee members, and the Assistant Superintendent selects the new coordinator. The same procedure is used to fill unexpired terms.
