CORE CURRICULUM ADOPTION PROCESS

Dysart has a five-year curriculum cycle. The first step is to review and evaluate the current curriculum. If a new curriculum is needed, the adoption cycle occurs. That summer the curriculum is purchased and a pacing calendar is created. That year is the first of implementation. Following this, the revise and reimplementation phase occurs.


In addition to this, scope and sequence are reviewed yearly to make adjustments, and they are also altered as new legislation passes. Dysart ensures that all curriculum is aligned to state standards and current legislative mandates.
