EDLD 5399 Week 3 Part 2
Our
district has been working over the past 10 years to align the district
curriculum to the state standards. Four years ago, the district leadership
added the rigor and relevance framework to the district. This year, with the
introduction of the more rigorous STAAR and higher accountability standards,
the district collaborated with Lead4ward to increase the rigor of our
curriculum and instruction. This year we have given teachers more time to plan
collaboratively, to deconstruct the TEKS, and to write rigorous lessons and
assessments. I served as a member of the CoreWork diagnostic team, the District
Educational Improvement Council, and the Campus Academic Advisory Committee. Through
these, we have moved our district forward, but there is still much room to
grow.

Our school district did this for several years; however, there was very little evaluation regarding the curriculum. This year we adopted the CSCOPE curriculum, and have created an evaluation system but we are still finding there are gaps due to resistant teachers. Our PDAS evaluators have been working overtime with this resistance. Good luck, and good information. Two weeks left!
