Redesign of Curriculum Council: Improvement Collaborative
Date: 09/23/2019
Author:
After discussions with many of you as well as our internal team, we are offering the newly redesigned Improvement Collaborative (formerly Curriculum Council).
The purpose of the Sonoma County Office of Education’s Improvement Collaborative is to accelerate improvements focused on building capacity and improving curriculum, instruction, assessment, data analysis, and reciprocal accountability to effectively address inequities in student opportunities and outcomes.
This year our through-line focus will be a deep dive into critical components of the LCAP and how these components are operationalized in our systems to support student outcomes.
