Summary:

|
The Visual Art department would like to pilot the Art of Education Flex and Pro Curriculum Suite for the second semester, following a one month free trial for all art teachers in January. The Pilot will include nine teachers with representatives at the elementary, middle and high school levels. The FLEX platform provides access to a comprehensive on-demand digital library of standards-aligned instructional materials. This will allow teachers to utilize scope and sequences in FLEX, curate custom classes or units, or pull individual resources to supplement or refresh the lessons. The Pro platform provides access to in-depth, short-form video tutorials and premium classroom resources, teachers can apply what they learned directly into their classroom.
The pilot cost can be applied to the total adoption cost if the curriculum is approved and adopted.
Pilot Cost $2,597.44, funded by Title IV |
