 * Diane and Jean attended a Curriculum Planning workshop with all of C & I in response to the Curriculum audit which stated that Minneapolis did not have a well articulated Curriculum that was directly linked to assessments and staff development. Although the audit only looked at the 4 core disciplines, Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies, we have all areas have been charged with looking at their curriculum and organizing for writing, piloting and implementing.
