In Clay County Schools, we approach each curriculum development with a reflective approach and decision making model. A team of teachers start by evaluating our needs, our data, and research behind best practices. We then engage in research a variety of curriculums that might meet the needs in which we have found are most important to our team. We proceed with presentations, piloting of the resources, evaluating, and hold interviews/site visits of those using the resource. Following our selection, our team begins collaborating, planning and coaching to implement a rigorous learning program for our students. Our current resources are listed below.
English Language Arts- Into Reading by Houghton Mifflin, Pathways to Reading and Alphabetic Phonics
Mathematics- iReady Mathematics
Science- Mystery Science
Social Studies- Scott Forseman as well as a topic map that is embedded throughout learning opportunities.
