This base leaves a lot of gaps that must be supplemented.
Does not push to Q gradebook - much more manual entry is required.

Really struggling using gen ed curriculum in World, US History, Gov/Econ

I muddling through it for the first time. It’s working fairly well (with some supplementation)

Students are really enjoying the novels that teachers have chosen to use to teach our foundational skills and essential standards. When it comes to Study Sync, they are much less interested to use it fully on the computer (they have screen fatigue), but teachers can find solid stories and articles and use those. Technology doesn’t always work consistently, many skills are difficult to find.

In VAPA we received a lot of our "Base Curriculum," but because our subjects are unique that was more in the form of "supplemental-style" curriculums.
Science said they were missing A LOT of materials this year.
ELD said they really MISS their old supplemental stuff.
English still struggle with Study Sync.
I haven't heard much from other areas.

Some of the curriculum is changing so the base supplies are going to changes as well.

Not all teachers have “jumped on board.” Yet

Base curriculum has been adopted since 2018. This is now well-established. As a district, we are trying to come back to a "normal" in terms of what curriculum should be covered given learning losses.

StudySync is working well for both ELA/ELD. There is a need for a platform to teach grammar.

More phenomena based instruction with more modeling and student discourse.

Special Education has been happy that there is now a Study Skills curriculum. They have reported that the use of the new curriculum this year has been successful thus far.

Study Sync is broader than it is deep, leaving significant gaps for student learning. More materials for students should be available in non-digital forms. Some student learning is more effective when done with paper and pen than with devices.

New equipment is required to keep up. Facilities updates/renovations are needed to be able to keep up.

We would love a true ELD curriculum outside of StudySync.

Students in my class have access to the computer program. They also receive printed copies of lessons/texts if necessary or requested. It seems easier to print from StudySync than it used to be. No issues with that. Wide variety of printables to scaffold lessons.

I really heard a variety of responses on actual supplies. Overall the budget was much larger and we received more supplies. However, the purchasing process is still a disaster! The communication between site and district Purchasing is still an awful experience. It takes weeks and weeks to process things, and many things get bounced back. The process is unclear, and new rules pop up daily.
Purchasing as a whole needs a re-vamp. :)

In VAPA we focused on getting away from technology and doing more hands-on and in-person activities this year. Hopefully next year we will be able to blend.

Overall going well. However, long-term planning (the 3-year cycle) sometimes doesn't allow for last-minute or sudden needs that teachers don't think about in advance.

# data[].attributes.headline
Needs are always changing, so while we tried to cover all base needs at the beginning, supply needs inevitably popped up mid-year.

To order ALL base supplies before Master Schedules are finished is tough. At the high school level it would make more sense to create things twice a year or even three times a year.

Some things are only needed every five years or so - this makes budgeting very difficult on a year-to-year basis.  In the past, for big purchases, we had the wiggle room to decide what was most needed in a present year and what could be deferred to the next year.

# data[].attributes.body
I will echo the comment above, that the process, especially at the beginning of this year, needs improvement. Teachers were very frustrated to start the year without their supplies. It is difficult to come up with a list of needed supplies in March for the next school year, not knowing what classes will be taught, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Price change: When we put in for our supplies and were approved for a certain dollar amount. Then when we actually went to order the price was more than originally priced out. Some items were not ordered and pushed to next year.

It can be repetitive. But, students have become used to using their computers, accessing the programs through Clever. Some still have trouble navigating their assignments; i.e. submitting, using all features. Teams has been great for student communication during COVID. It helps with posting missing work and keeping track of the schedule. I still use it to post assignments and post grades to Q. Some students still prefer paper and pen classwork.

So with are social science department we adopted curriculum 4-5 years ago. At Sierra, it seems like we have the case curriculum students need. The World and U.S. teachers seem to have been working more with changing their "usual" schedules and attempting to get through more of the material and ensuring depth, not just all content covered! PLCs have been more productive and our QISA---PLC---Classroom linkage is stronger than it has been. So, what we are working on in PLCs connects directly with QISA....this was maybe not the case in the past.

Growth with some essential skills - not looking at essential standards yet.
Lots of supplementing of learning loss from the past 2 years.
Digital exhaustion mentioned for Study Sync is true of STEMscopes also.

Foundational skills and essential standards have really helped pull the curriculum together, and we’ve seen a lot of success as an English department in that sense.

Students are still struggling mentally and emotionally, however. We need a base curriculum for that in the district too.

Our student athletes are struggling in the spring term too. Baseball, softball, and tennis athletes are sometimes gone 3 times a week in their 3rd and 4th periods. There is a tennis player I have only seen twice in about two weeks. The game schedule is wild.

Students have struggled to be accountable for work they miss when they are out.

# data[].attributes.body
A constant discussion this year has been what students are missing and/or need from level to level. This is both within and outside of the department. We have found ourselves teaching and repeating essential things much more this year.

Learning has been difficult for students who are involved in sports (particularly in the spring) who are leaving during the last periods of the day. I, personally, record classes (when needed) so students have access but this is not being done universally.

I have two students who have just begun to learn English and are juniors in High School. StudySync does not seem appropriate for them because of their extremely limited English, even with scaffolding.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that students have less personal responsibility for their work/contributing to discussion in class/quality of work! It would seem that maybe the students if asked would say we teachers have also changed as result of adapting to COVID/digital instruction. I think we need to look into our students and our teachers and any negative trends we can address (psychosocial/interpersonal/mental health).
