00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:06,500
As part of our continued Visioncasting we 
are focusing this month on the strategic 
priority Reimagine Learning.

2
00:00:06,510 --> 00:00:11,500


3
00:00:11,510 --> 00:00:17,000
We are excited about the way we continue 
to level up our system for students and reimagine 
learning in Klein ISD.

4
00:00:17,010 --> 00:00:23,100
In the last year, we’ve not only increased 
student pathways resulting in college credit 
and certifications such as...

5
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:30,300
...our advanced nursing pathway, but we’ve 
also increased participation in rigorous 
coursework like advanced placement and dual 
credit.

6
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:41,700
And yet, because we are very serious about 
the word EVERY in our Promise2Purpose vision, 
we continue to live into our mission’s specific 
focus on continuous improvement.

7
00:00:41,710 --> 00:00:52,800
To that end, last spring, we asked TASA to 
conduct an external, deficit audit of our 
curriculum management system to pinpoint 
needed areas of improvement and provide recommendations 
for next steps.

8
00:00:52,810 --> 00:00:58,400
The initial review of the report indicates 
several key recommendations aligned to Reimagine 
Learning.

9
00:00:58,410 --> 00:00:59,600
Here are some of them.

10
00:00:59,610 --> 00:01:10,500
Develop and implement a comprehensive curriculum 
management system that coordinates and focuses 
all curriculum management functions and tasks 
across and within departments and schools.

11
00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:18,010
Deeply align current benchmark assessments 
and resources referenced in the district 
curriculum to the Texas Essential Knowledge 
and Skills.

12
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:28,500
Direct curriculum revision to ensure curriculum 
documents are of the highest quality and 
deeply aligned in content, context, and cognitive 
rigor with high stakes assessments.

13
00:01:28,510 --> 00:01:32,000
Redesign web-based curriculum for easier 
access.

14
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:37,900
As part of our response to these recommendations 
we have launched what we are calling our 
Curriculum Refresh.

15
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:41,100
In the same spirit in which we’ve done all 
of our Promise2Purpose work...

16
00:01:41,110 --> 00:01:45,600
...the Curriculum Refresh will be a collaborative 
and cross-functional project...

17
00:01:45,610 --> 00:01:51,100
...to achieve the goal of developing a clear 
theory of action for coherent curriculum, 
instruction...

18
00:01:51,110 --> 00:02:00,800
...and assessment in order to design and 
deliver an innovative guaranteed and viable 
curriculum, assessment program, and increased 
pathways for student success.

19
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:08,980
You can stay up-to-date on the latest with 
the Curriculum Refresh by visiting the Exchange

20
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:13,010
We’re excited about the strategic partnerships 
we’re developing to guide the Curriculum 
Refresh...

21
00:02:13,010 --> 00:02:18,600
...and the increased and innovative outcomes 
that will follow for students to be able 
to achieve their purpose.

22
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:19,980
Have a great week!

23
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:24,000
