• Draft 1

The FNSBSD curriculum process, outlined in Administrative Regulations 910 Appendix A, is on a six-year cycle and includes the following stages:

• Research, Review, and Write
• Materials & Implementation
• Monitor Progress

The research, review, and write stage begins with community input, then the writers meet to discuss the current curriculum, determine its effectiveness and research current trends in curriculum content and pedagogy.  The curriculum writers then begin writing draft one.  Each draft goes out for public comment and the writers review and consider all comments and suggestions.  After there is a general consensus on the curriculum proposal, a final draft is submitted to the Board Curriculum Committee for a recommendation and the School Board for adoption.  Once the curriculum is adopted, it is implemented in the schools, usually the next school year, and professional development is provided as needed.  Finally, the curriculum enters the measure, refine, and revise stage during years four through six.
