Curriculum development is hard work and needed at all of the schools. Many of the schools have KC4, but not implementing it. When there is a match between the enacted curriculum and the written curriculum, kids grow. We need to share models for curriculum development. This would be very helpful.
Systemic issues are at work as there needs to be an articulated curriculum.
Betty reminded us that we have to get back to the teachers to make the change. Connie is starting on ground level with her schools and their curricula. There was a discussion of models that worked. With the overarching goal of elevating student achievement, we need to look at models and find out where it is happening. Betty mentioned three buildings in her area.
