Curriculum and Instruction
Questions regarding Curriculum & Instruction may be emailed to Dr. Denise Funston, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning at funstondenise@festusedu.com.
Festus R-VI School teachers and adminstrators write the curriculum for all grade levels and classes in the District. The curriculum process is on a five-year cycle:
Year 1 – Review & Research
Year 2 – Development & Adoption
Year 3 – Implementation
Year 4 – Implementation & Monitoring
Year 5 – Monitoring
After year 5, the cycle is repeated.
During the school year, the District’s Professional Learning Communities (PLC’s) meet every Wednesday morning. This is the reason for late start Wednesdays. Teachers and administrators develop strategies and plans to implement the curriculum on a week-to-week basis taking into account student scores and needs.
