Second, get to know your child's teacher. Open houses and parent conferences offer excellent opportunities for you to check out what your child is learning. Be friendly and ask for the teacher's viewpoint about curriculum. Establish a good relationship and show that you support the teacher's efforts to educate you child. Third, contact the district curriculum director.
Many times curriculum selection is out of the hands of an individual teacher.
The district's curriculum director might be able to answer any questions you have about a particular curriculum, as well as let you examine copies of the curriculum material. Call the school district to find out who the curriculum director is. Many times curriculum selection is a lengthy and complicated process that takes place over years of evaluation. To be an effective voice in this process, you must first learn how it works and get involved in the earliest stages. Once a text is adopted by a school or district, it will usually take much more effort to get it removed.
