Agenda Item Summary:
|
|
Over the next four months, ACPS will engage with a group of internal and external stakeholders in providing a recommendation to the School Board regarding the middle school framework, including instructional programs. This project work team, led by Principal Finney, will address potential revisions, additions, refinements, and/or deletions in the following areas: honors courses, mathematics pathways, Dual Language progression, scheduling options for students, and exploring the possibility of offering college credit in middle school. All the middle school team recommendations will be supported by national research, ACPS data, and ACPS metrics, with equity at the heart of each recommendation, as well as by our ACPS 2025 Strategic Plan: Equity for All. The middle school team will develop a three-year timeline to outline outcomes seeking, key areas of focus, professional learning needs, and key implementation milestones. |
