Administrators and BOE Members, listen up! 📢 Too often, teachers are caught up in the whirlwind of deciding what to teach rather than focusing on their students’ needs. The culprit? Many districts lack a guaranteed and viable curriculum, leaving educators scrambling to fill the gap. Teachers should not spend valuable hours scouring the internet for lesson plans and assessments!
Spoiler Alert: A curriculum is not merely a checklist of standards or a sequence of topics—it is a strategic roadmap designed to ensure understanding of what is being taught.
Enter districts like Westfield. They understand the importance of investing in one of their greatest assets—their teachers. They believe in the educators and empower them to design the curriculum that prepares their students for their future and success. Let us prioritize what truly matters: equipping our educators with the tools they need to make a lasting impact in the classroom.
