According to Dr. Chynoweth, principals and instructional coaches alike, who have been key to the curriculum’s success, share a mutual degree of excitement for what the second year of implementation will look like. Considering the district’s beautifully diverse student body, which includes families speaking over 60 different languages and approximately 12-13% of students with Individual Education Plans, this review process is essential. “We have a lot of support personnel in place to make sure that students get what they need and have 12 and make sure that we’re taking time each of those five years to really pause and think about what standards are being reflected,” says Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Dr. Jan Chynoweth. The key question answered during this process is: “Does this work for our students?” Dr. Chynoweth explains. One notable success of this review process is the recent implementation of a new K-8 literacy curriculum, which has been well-received within the district’s schools. 302 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 08
