As a part of the Curriculum Department's continuous improvement model, the curriculum coordinators will set goals annually in each content area. An on-going review committee that is responsible for obtaining feedback and evaluating the curriculum each year moves these goals forward. Extensive feedback about the effectiveness of the curriculum in meeting students' needs is secured by surveying parents, students, staff, and principals. The changes are presented changes are presented to the principals' meeting with a follow-up memo documenting the presentation and feedback from the principals. The purpose of curriculum program evaluation is to determine what is working, what is not working, what to change, and what to keep.
Evaluation is a process used to assess the quality of the curriculum.
Evaluation will also occur as a result of the review and the degree to which the goals set annually in each content area is accomplished. A systems approach to curriculum evaluation can result in better alignment among the district's written, taught, and tested curriculum. The data and information gathered through the new, comprehensive evaluation procedure can also be used to make improvements in instruction, assessment, and staff development. In the in-depth year, the curriculum coordinator leads the curriculum writing committee in the revision and update of the document. The in-depth year includes a review of the current document, feedback from the members of the curriculum writing committee regarding needed revisions, analysis of curriculum documents from other school districts, overview of the needed structure for the documents and the writing of the new document.
