For your Final Project, you will create a model based on the following scenario. You have been named Director of Curriculum for the Levittown NY School District. The district has never had a curriculum director and your responsibility is to develop and implement a model for curriculum development and implementation that will improve academic achievement for all students in the district utilizing the HMH curriculum. You will present your slides at a meeting of your district’s Board of Education.
Here are some samples: https://district.franklinlakes.k12.nj.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=421073&type=d&pREC_ID=935958Links to an external site.
You will present to your colleagues in a 5-10 minute Google Slide presentation. Use “speaker notes” on each slide to summarize your main points in bullet or narrative form. You will post your Slides to Canvas.
*Each participant will share their presentation at Zoom Session #4.
Create a model that you would use to develop and implement the curriculum in the School District.
The curricular program you are intending to implement in your district with a clear rationale as to why the change is necessary.
Details about the new curricular program (i.e. sample lessons, unit plans, scope and sequence, etc.).
Relevant data from NYS (data.NYSED.gov or other reputable data source) to illustrate current academic achievement in your district.
In order to provide a context for academic achievement, please use the most current publicly reporting educational data available in the New York State Education Department website FOR THE DISTRICT IN WHICH YOU WORK OR ANY DISTRICT OF YOUR CHOICE. See: https://data.nysed.gov/lists.php?type=districtLinks to an external site.
Current curriculum in place with a clear rationale as to why you are proposing a change.
Any relevant research to support and justify the curricular change you are proposing.
A clear plan of action for your new curricular implementation (i.e. timeline, professional development plan, stakeholder involvement, etc.).
APA style citations for any relevant research included (i.e. NYS data, other relevant research, etc.).
“Speaker notes” on each slide to summarize your main points in bullet or narrative form.
