Summary:
|
The Elementary English Language Arts/Spanish Language Arts/English Language Development Committee met in the Fall of 2016. The team included teachers, principals, and district-level administrators. After reviewing materials from a variety of vendors, and considering State criteria, the team decided to pilot McGraw Hill Wonders/Maravillas and Benchmark Advance/Adelante. A pilot team of teachers was established which included representatives from each of our 29 elementary schools. Each site was represented by a Kindergarten-second grade teacher, and a third-fifth grade teacher. Sites with Dual Language programs also sent a representative from the same grade level spans. Each pilot lasted six weeks with training provided to pilot teachers prior to each pilot. At the end of the two pilots, the team of pilot teachers met to review the data collected, compare materials to District and State criteria with consideration to our diverse district needs to make a recommendation. Parent feedback was also solicited through an online survey (both English and Spanish) and comment cards. Materials and comment cards have been on display at the Willow Creek Center for review. After a full day of extensive comparison, the vote yielded a clear majority with 72% in favor of McGraw Hill and 21% in favor of Benchmark. This contract includes:
