K-12 Learning

Every year, the school district is responsible for selecting educational curriculum for K-12 students. This process follows a rotating cycle, with a different subject being adopted each year. The state plays a crucial role in this process by forming a committee to evaluate curricula from various publishers. Using a scoring rubric, the committee assesses whether the instructional materials meet the criteria set by the State Board for high-quality education. Based on these evaluations, the state approves a list of recommended curricula. Each district then selects from this approved list.

 

In Junction City School District, each year a curriculum adoption team is formed to review the state-approved materials, review digital materials, examine curriculum samples, and engage with publishers. After thorough consideration, the team makes a recommendation to the superintendent for adoption. This team also supports and advises on implementation planning. 

 

The curriculum is designed in accordance with state educational standards.
