Welcome Message!

Greetings! Welcome to the Curriculum Corner for teacher and administrator resources related to Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment & Professional Development. This is a very exciting time in education due to the many changes that are transpiring nationally and locally. In Ohio, we have many new initiatives that are underway. We are transitioning to  Ohio's New Learning Standards; which include the Common Core Standards for ELA & Math and the Ohio Academic Content Standards for Science & Social Studies. We have a new teacher and principal evaluation system; OTES/OPES which includes student achievement data and Student Learning Objectives (SLO's) for teachers that do not have value added data from ODE. We are implementing the Third Grade Reading Guarantee which entails diagnosing all K-3 students using the Ohio Diagnostic reading assessment and creating plans for those needing reading interventions. This year is also the first year that all Ohio schools and districts will be evaluated using the New A-F District & School Report Cards. You can find out more about our district's efforts to transition to the Common Core State Standards by checking out the MCSD Common Core Transition Plan.
