Fall 2013 C.E.
Biggest update is that AISD is in the process of changing curriculum. Up to this point in time, the responsibility for curriculum writing has fallen on the teachers. However, with the adoption of the new TEKs and the initiation of the more rigorous requirements for graduation as seen in the STAAR test, this time consuming task has exploded. Therefore, the district made the decision to go to a curriculum written by professionals whose goal is to stay abreast of the requirements of the revised TEKS, the STAAR test, and the Carer and College Readiness Standards. This will free up time for teachers to focus on student needs and the challenges they will face not only academically but in a global marketplace. Consequently, AISD has adopted the CSCOPE curriculum and set it up for full implementation in the 2013-2014 school year.
