Community Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Committee (CCIAC) - Members Sought

The Community Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Committee (CCIAC) is broadening its focus for 2011-2012. Instead of an in-depth focus of a single curricular area, the CCIAC will provide input to several current curriculum issues including the new English / Language Arts (Common Core) standards, the new Social Studies standards, and policy and procedure updates. This change will allow the committee to provide feedback and suggestions in multiple areas and directly to the curriculum committees and groups working on the changes. This change will also provide more sources of input and perspectives to the staff working on these curriculum projects.

The Committee is a state-mandated group that is ideally intended to be comprised of 2/3rd community members and 1/3rd staff members. The Committee is will be meeting on Jan. 12, Feb. 9, Mar. 8, Apr. 12, and May 10 from 4:00-5:30. We are currently looking for additional community members willing to serve on this Committee. If you know of any community members that might be interested, please have them contact Dr. Jean Lubke (507-328-4301) jelubke@rochester.k12.mn.us
