Wenatchee School District Curriculum Study Cycle Information

The Curriculum Design and Development Process is fully outlined in the Process Management site on the Wenatchee School District Web site; please see LNT-P001: Curriculum Design and Development for additional details. The process outlines three types of curriculum, instruction, and assessment review: monthly/quarterly, annually, and a seven year cycle.

On a monthly/quarterly basis, the Wenatchee School District Articulation Teams meet to review and problem-solve any issues as a result of Federal or State changes, data analysis of student performance, teacher applications, or any other new information. These changes often are revisions having minor or no financial implications. Annually, then, Articulation Teams review the work of the year and decide upon Action Plans for the following year to address any such revisions.

On a seven year cycle, MAJOR curriculum adoptions (along with any instructional, assessment, and professional development implications) are considered on a rotating basis. Below you will find the schedule for the Curriculum Study Cycle which carries with it significant financial implications. This Study Cycle is also outlined in Policy and Procedure 2120 and 2120P and carried out through school year 2015-2016 to insure consistency of program review.
