GCPS Invites Community to Help Review Foreign Language Instructional Resources

From GCPS

Starting this week, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) invites parents and members of the community to join GCPS staff members by participating in a review of proposed curriculum resources for Foreign Language, grades 6-12. Parents and community members can provide input on the proposed resources by participating in the review.

The public review begins Tuesday, November 4, and runs until Friday, November 21, 2014.

GCPS holds an extensive review before adopting resources for classroom use. Resources submitted by publishers are reviewed by parents, community members, teachers, and administrators for alignment with the school system’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum.

During the review, GCPS staff and members of the Gwinnett community will review student textbooks, digital resources, and associated teacher resources for Foreign Language for grades 6-12.

The review is scheduled at the following times at GCPS’ Instructional Support Center (ISC), located at 437 Old Peachtree Road NW in Suwanee.

• Tuesday–Friday, Nov. 4–21, 8 a.m.– 4 p.m.
• Saturday, Nov. 15, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
• Thursday, Nov. 20, 5–8 p.m.

Both print and digital resources will be provided for review in the hallway between Buildings 100 and 200 at the ISC during review hours. Based on all input gathered from this review, a recommendation will be made to the Gwinnett County Board of Education for adoption of resources.

For more information about the instructional review process, please contact Ryan Queen, Director of Instructional Resources and Support, at 678-301-6828.
