Komite admisyon nan lekòl mwayen Kesyon? kontakte: kristin@cec3.org Announcements: This year, District 3 must pick a math curriculum as part of the NYC Solves Initiative. The options include Illustrative Math, Amplify Desmos, and I-Ready Math. Upcoming Meetings: Curriculum Initiatives NYC Reads Find Out More Wit and Wisdom (K-5) Expeditionary Learning (6-8) NYC Solves Find Out More Illustrative Mathematics Amplify Desmos I-Ready Passport to Social Studies Civics for All Amplify Science Find Out More Computer Science for All Lego Robotics Digital Citizenship Culturally Responsive & Sustaining Education Find Out More District 3 has chosen to implement the Wit and Wisdom curriculum for grades K-5 and the Expeditionary Learning curriculum for grades 6-8. These curricula were two of three pre-approved phonics-based curricula that districts were given the option of choosing as part of the NYC Reads initiative launched in the 2023-2024 school year. District 3 is hosting meetings to discuss the three curricula available for middle schools as part of the NYC Solves initiative: Illustrative Mathematics, Amplify Desmos, and I-Ready curricula for middle schools. All districts are required to chose a standard curriculum to use across middle schools. High Schools must use Illustrative Mathematics. Last June, students came together at the District 3 Civics Share Fair, which showcased the work they have been doing in classrooms as part of the Civics for All initiative - which has been integrated into the Passport to Social Studies curriculum. Amplify Science has been the core science curriculum in NYC public schools and District 3 since 2019. District 3 used part of a federal grant to provide lego robotics kits to every school in the district, to be used in computer science and STEM programs. NYC public schools and District 3 have implemented the Culturally Responsive & Sustaining Education (CR-SE) framework since 2019.
