Teaching and Learning

The District will research current practices in the content area, reviewing districtwide formative and summative data with the support of stakeholder groups to determine if there is a need to make adjustments.

Once the District has reviewed current practices and researched the latest guidance from national organizations, we will start to develop recommendations for updates in the content area. Recommendations will be made based on districtwide formative and summative data with the support of stakeholder groups.

Once the stakeholder group has determined the recommended curriculum for the content area, the School Board will be provided an opportunity to review and approve.

Once approved, KCSD will provide professional development on the curriculum to the remaining stakeholders. Learning walks will occur with district, school and classroom leaders to ensure proper implementation.

Stakeholder groups will work together to monitor districtwide data to ensure students are developing.

During the final stage, the stakeholder group starts to evaluate whether current practices are in need of updating or if further research is needed.

Universal supports are provided to all students inside the general classroom. 

Targeted supports are provided to small groups inside the general classroom during an intervention period.

Intensive supports are provided to individuals inside or outside of the general classroom.
