Committee Makes Reading Curriculum Recommendation
posted on April 04 - 08:25 AM
A subcommittee of the Highland Park ISD board of trustees Thursday recommended ‘phasing out’ the Lucy Calkins’ Units of Study curriculum for teaching reading and writing in kindergarten-eighth grade. Per the website for the curriculum, in Units of Study, teachers lead classes in minilessons before students move on and apply the skills from the minilesson to independent reading, reading with a partner, or working with the teacher one-on-one or in small groups. Highland Park ISD board of trustees adopted the curriculum in 2019. The district’s education services ELA subcommittee includes trustees Bryce Benson, Maryjane Bonfield, Stacy Kelly, HPISD Assistant Superintendent for Education Services Lisa Wilson, and Superintendent Tom Trigg.
