Update on Culture: Members of the LT will be attending a training in Boston in January that will discuss the Collaborative Problem Solving process.
Update on Curriculum Changes: All curriculum 5 - 12 needs to be aligned so the instructional leadership teams at the MS and HS are working through a curriculum audit and curriculum changes matrix. The focus will be on a cross-curricular approach to learning - specifically in the area of Humanities. In addition, we are investigating the Hochman Writing Program.
