Background
|
The Vision 2026 strategic plan includes a strategy of implementing learning acceleration and programming. One of the tactics of this strategy is to adopt and support resources for K-8 academic core areas. This includes English Language Arts. A team of teachers studied the research of science-based reading instruction. This formed the instructional vision in the selection of materials to pilot. This year, elementary teachers piloted two high quality instructional materials and selected one to recommend to the Board of Education for adoption.
