• Kirkwood’s complete curriculum cycle is scheduled to come “full circle” over a six-year period.  Revision is considered to be an ongoing process, with any significant changes coming before a curriculum review team and, as appropriate, the Board of Education.

    Over a six-year period, the following is accomplished:

    • Implementation Year 1, to include training and support related to content, curricula, and resources. This year also includes time to refine day-to-day lessons and align curriculum, assessments, rubrics, and reporting criteria.
    • Program Evaluation, to include monitoring implementation, student outcomes, and any need for possible adjustments to our work
    • Research, including feedback from stakeholders, furthering unpacking of relevant standards, and analysis of best practices
    • Curriculum Development, including revision of curriculum documents, alignment with any new standards, necessary material selection and acquisition, and planning for professional learning
