About this Session

Wondering where to begin as you start curriculum work? Or are you thinking it is time to reboot and refresh this work and focus? How will we get everyone on the same page and also ensure that we have a common process and vocabulary?

If you have these questions, please join us as we kick off our Curriculum Deep Dive Series! Dr. Crystal Magers and leaders from the Springfield Public Schools Curriculum Department will share the procedure they used to start the process for both curriculum development and creating clear protocols for not only curriculum purchases, but also implementation. These ideas and resources for developing a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum will be helpful to any size district and you are sure to walk away with ideas to focus on this important work in your district.
