Key beliefs that guided the recommendation:• Strong core curriculum and instruction is critical to
ensure that interventions can better meet the needs of students at risk.
• An aligned and cohesive K-12 curriculum, especially MS & HS, is essential for student and teacher success.
• The data analysis and feedback from key stakeholders highly recommends that the needs and gaps must be addressed as quickly as possible to support teachers and students.
