Policy 4020 P1: Curriculum Development and Adoption of Instructional Materials
The curriculum of a district will be examined on a regular basis according to the cyclical 8 review established by the office of Teaching and Learning. This review of district-wide 9 curriculum materials will run per the established review cycle.
其他內容領域的課程採用將在校長的指導下,由學校層級決定。
地區課程委員會:全區教材採用程序
The district curriculum committees guide curriculum and instruction related to their content. These teacher-directed committees establish and monitor such procedures as may be necessary for the selecting, adopting and discarding of instructional materials purchased and implemented by the district. The committees will act upon requests for text approval and removal and will evaluate and act upon citizens’ requests for reconsideration of instructional materials. The function of the committees is to ensure that materials are selected in conformance to stated criteria and related state laws. Regular committee meetings will be held monthly. In addition to the foundation of teachers representing different grade levels and schools in the district, a few building and district administrators will also serve on a district curriculum committee. Meetings are open to the public but only committee members can participate in the discussion and related decision-making

公民參與教材審查
Should a community member wish to make a formal protest regarding specific material used in the school system, they must use the form for requesting reconsideration of instructional materials. These forms are available in Policy 4022 Evaluation and Reconsideration of School Curriculum and Instructional Materials.
從「核准使用清單」中移除材料
At the time of adoption by the board of education, basic instructional materials will be added to the “Approved for Use” list.
After the newly adopted basic materials have been purchased for the schools in the district, and thus superseding those materials which had been previously adopted, the former district adoptions will be removed from the “Approved for Use” list.
Those materials that have been removed from the “Approved for Use” list should be regarded as surplus property and disposed of by the appropriate administrator using the approved vendor in accordance with district and state procedures.
教學規劃
To ensure planning and continuity of instruction, teachers will develop written lesson plans for daily instruction. Lesson plans must include but are not limited to a reference to district curriculum for clear instructional targets, provide for appropriate assessment of student learning and make provisions for differentiated instructional strategies. Lesson plans must be readily available.
課程調整
Provo City School District’s curriculum will be aligned with the state’s required learning standards. Each teacher in the Provo City School District will employ the aligned curriculum and clearly identified district learning essentials/competencies in providing students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and assessment strategies necessary to meet or exceed the state proficiency cut scores, district graduation requirements and entrance requirements for post-secondary education and/or occupational opportunities.
課程披露文件
All students in grades 7 through 12 in the Provo City School District will be provided with a disclosure document for each course that outlines the curriculum for the course pursuant to state and district policy. The disclosure document will describe, through clearly identified district learning essentials/competencies, the extent to which the curriculum will provide students with the knowledge, skills and assessment strategies that will enable them to meet or exceed the state’s proficiency cut scores, district graduation requirements and entrance requirements for post-secondary education and/or occupational opportunities. Additionally, each disclosure document will include the manner in which students will be assessed and graded, along with the classroom management requirements for the class.
Teachers will develop reading lists and classroom libraries so that students have a wide variety of reading materials suggested or available to them that support student mastery of learning essentials and critical content. Teachers will follow the guidelines outlined in Policy 4022, and include these reading lists in their disclosure document to enable parents and the principal to review them. If a parent believes that a book on the reading list is objectionable, the teacher will provide an alternate book for the student to read as a replacement. Parents will sign a statement acknowledging receipt of a class disclosure document.
剩餘教科書和教材
When it has been determined that textbooks and instructional materials have become obsolete and are in need of disposal from a district site, the obsolete reading material must first be made available to the district approved vendor for processing through that system in accordance with district and state requirements.
在下列情況下,教材可宣布為過剩:
- The material has been superseded by a new edition
- The copyright date is old enough to indicate that the material is dated in content, use and accuracy,
- The physical condition precludes further use or,
- The use of the material is limited because of a program change.
責任
It is the responsibility of the Director(s) of Teaching and Learning to provide, on an annual basis and in the spring of each school year, instructions to sites for the annual disposal of all surplus textbooks and library books and instructional materials. The instructions will include directions for packing and reporting materials to be declared surplus through the district vendor.
It is the responsibility of the Financial Administrator to process the finances associated with the disposal of all surplus textbooks, library books and instructional materials in accordance with district and state guidelines.
If the surplus textbooks and library books and instructional materials are determined to have no value or if no purchaser is found, the reading materials may be recycled through the approved district vendor.
