Next Steps

In our roundtable we will walk you through the curriculum maps that have been developed and posted.

We will discuss the common assessment guideline that we will follow with these maps and how the data from this process should drive instruction.

We will walk through the process for continuous development and feedback on these documents.

Please educate your staff on the redesign

of the curriculum and instruction department!
