下载政策 4020：课程开发和教材采用

The Board of Education of Provo City School District has the responsibility to prescribe a district-wide curriculum that addresses the needs of all students, with input by teachers, parents and community, and is consistent with state laws and State Board of Education regulations. The curriculum will be based on State learning standards. The curriculum will be planned and sequential, articulated from preschool through Grade 12, and will be appropriate for the needs of individual students.

The board recognizes its responsibility for the improvement and growth of the educational program of the schools. To this end, the curriculum will be evaluated, adapted and developed on a continuing basis and in accordance with a plan for curriculum improvement to increase student learning. Instructional materials will be selected to assist students in attaining the basic skills, depth of knowledge, and understanding of content required by the state and our community. All new courses or major modifications to existing courses must be approved by the superintendent prior to implementation. The superintendent, in turn, will inform the board before the new course or major revision to an existing course is implemented.

The superintendent will establish procedures for curriculum development that provide for involvement of community representatives and staff members at appropriate times. Procedures will also provide for the annual review of selected areas on a cyclical basis and for implementing necessary changes that come from the curriculum study. Such cyclical curriculum review will take place at least once during each seven-year period. Mathematics, English/Language Arts, and Science will have particular emphasis for curriculum development supported by Teaching and Learning staff and district curriculum committees.

选择和采用教学材料

The board is legally responsible for the selection of all instructional materials used in the district. Instructional materials will be defined as the printed, electronic, filmed or recorded materials furnished by the district for student use and/or included on students’ reading lists. The primary objective in selecting instructional materials is to implement, enrich and support the educational program of the schools. Procedures direct district staff and the curriculum committees in their analysis and adoption of Core, Supplemental, and Intervention instructional materials to support student mastery of skills, content, and knowledge. All instructional materials will be selected in accordance with:

适用的州和联邦法律、
学区的既定目标和/或标准和/或学习要点，以及
学区教学人员和课程委员会制定的程序。

The selection and purchase of new curriculum materials is a thorough and costly process. Such new materials are purchased to replace previous materials. The new materials represent the baseline of instructional essentials for all students to know, enhanced by the skill, creativity, and artistry of teachers as they use proven pedagogy to deliver instruction to students. To ensure effective implementation of new curricular programs/materials, teachers will receive training and support. The superintendent will direct the Teaching and Learning Department to design and structure sufficient training for effective implementation. Administrators will also receive training on new materials and how to support the implementation on site. Training for teachers and administrators is mandatory.
