There is currently a disconnect with the rigidity with which kindergarten support from the district is falling on schools. For example, telling a school that their lunch time for kindergarten is 5 minutes off of when kindergarten is expected to be during the day. https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940159 2019-11-05 16:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940159 Use core materials with fidelity https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940384 2019-11-05 16:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940384 Use core materials with fidelity and supplement as needed. https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940539 2019-11-05 16:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406940539 Specifically for ELA, there needs to be a discussion of how 'text' base v.

For example, if we use Math Expressions, which is dependent on previously taught lessons, then the standards based math curriculum will need to be aligned to support the sequence of Math Expressions. Highly flexible schools would have difficulty not using the core materials and trying to follow the standards based curriculum documents. ]]> 2019-11-05 16:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406944485 All schools should use the same instructional core materials with fidelity https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406944631 2019-11-05 16:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406944631 https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406944835 Continue to use best practice core material and have frequent check-ins.

If these schools submit a proposal for an alternative curriculum that outlines/documents the scope and sequence of the CAS standards in their curriculum, and a committee reviews and approves the alignment of their curriculum with the CAS, then they should be granted high flexibility. Schools without unique curriculum programming requirements should not be given additional flexibility with the core instructional materials and the standards based curriculum. Othewise the strategic plan initiative of PK-12 standards based aligned curriculum will fail. ]]> 2019-11-05 16:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406951622 This is another area where instructional coaching could make a difference for our district - having consistent job embedded support in the building as the resource is implemented can become a game changer for teachers https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406955338 2019-11-05 16:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/406955338 K-5 Bilingual School https://padlet.com/BVSD_Networks/instructionalmaterials/wish/419187839 Issues of Language and culture need to be addressed/included/revisited in our current curriculum, instruction and assessments.

Materials are the tools that help engage students with the expected learning outcomes associated with a course; however, materials are not curriculum. Our curriculum is our standards. Let's first agree on that and have that tight in order to close all gaps of concern. Once we are tight on that, the materials we use should be loose and instead be offered a resources. Too often schools are attached to textbooks and publisher ideas on standard sequencing, which do not translate into what exactly students/scholars need.
