File:  IGA - CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

The School Committee will encourage and support the professional staff in its efforts to investigate new curricular ideas, develop and improve programs, and evaluate results.

Constant adaptation and development of the curriculum is necessary if the District is to meet the needs of the students in its schools.  To be successful, curriculum development must be a collaborative enterprise involving staff and administrators utilizing their professional expertise.

The Committee expects its faculty and administration to regularly evaluate the education program and to recommend modifications of practice and changes in curriculum content as well as the addition or deletion of courses to the instructional program.
