Curriculum Development
The School Board recognizes the importance of a school curriculum
that challenges each student, reflects the values of the Lyme
Community, and meets or exceeds current national and state
educational standards.
The Principal will oversee all curriculum committees and report
to the Superintendent on a regular basis. The Principal will
submit to the School Board recommendations developed by the
curriculum committees and the professional staff. In the course
of reviewing curriculum recommendations, the School Board
may solicit community opinion. The School Board will make
final decisions on curriculum change.
The success of the curriculum will be evaluated by multiple
measures, such as state achievement tests, national achievement
tests, portfolios and rubrics.
All teachers have professional obligations to the school program
beyond regular classroom duties, and these obligations include
work on curriculum committees. It is expected that all teachers
will make contributions to curriculum development.
