BOARD GOAL 1<br />
YISD Curriculum (Pre-K through 12th)<br />
WHY?<br />
In order for YISD to prepare students for success in their choices for college and/or career, the curriculum must be enhanced and aligned<br />
with state standards, as well as our Balanced Literacy Framework and Dual Language Model.<br />
HOW WILL WE DO THIS?<br />
In 2016, YISD opted to implement the TEKS Resource System as the curriculum framework used for planning purposes districtwide. It<br />
is aligned with state standards and grade-level expectations. TEKS Resource System includes curriculum components and sample unit<br />
assessment items, which were aligned to the most current versions of the State Board of Education-adopted TEKS for English language<br />
arts and reading; Spanish language arts and reading; mathematics; science; social studies; and Spanish translated versions of mathematics,<br />
science, and social studies.<br />
2015-2016 Action Plan<br />
During the 2016 spring semester, core instructional specialists revised the YISD Curriculum. Specifically, revisions focused<br />
on enhancing the framework for college and career readiness in alignment with the Balanced Literacy Framework and the Dual<br />
Language Model.<br />
Feedback from YISD teachers was taken into consideration during revisions. As required by state mandate, the YISD<br />
Curriculum included the Spanish Language Arts (SLARS) and the English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS).<br />
The revised curriculum was rolled out in August to campus instructional teams to show how best practices and resources<br />
were aligned to the framework. This information was disseminated to campus teachers and personnel during professional<br />
development days and teacher common planning time in order to align assessments and instruction to the curriculum.<br />
Feedback from principals on unit assessments 3, 6, and 9 was considered and created for use during the 2015-16 school<br />
year.<br />
The YISD Curriculum was accessible to district employees through the YISD platform.<br />
2016-2017<br />
Ysleta adopted the TEKS Resource System as a viable,<br />
comprehensive, standards-based curriculum. It addressed<br />
needs specific to YISD based on state and federal measures,<br />
and provided current and relevant assessment tools and<br />
research-based instructional practices to support academic<br />
progress.<br />
2017-2018<br />
The YISD Curriculum team and campus personnel will verify<br />
its effectiveness using progress measures and data pieces<br />
specific to academic achievement. Whatever cannot be proven<br />
will be revised.<br />
2018-2019<br />
YISD will use TEKS Resource System as a road map to<br />
outperform state and federal measures, and prepare all<br />
students for the college or career of their choice in a global<br />
society.<br />
2019-2020<br />
YISD will showcase the effectiveness of the district curriculum<br />
and initiatives using state and federal progress measures and<br />
data related to the academic success of all students.<br />
