–New Jr High ELA Curriculum - Anne reviewed several different ELA curricula with the assistance of Cassi since she will use it with her students as well decided on McGraw Hill StudySync 2021 edition. This is a hybrid curriculum that has student textbooks as well as an online platform and will also work with our Google Classroom platform. It includes novel studies with each thematic unit. It also offers digital/print assessments which include screenings, diagnostic, benchmark and end of units. It has differentiated instruction and if needed offers translated text in several different languages. It is going to be a great update to our Jr High curriculum.
