As a curriculum director, I believe it is our district’s responsibility to put academics first. Social and emotional learning and even physical development are important, and schools have a role to play in those areas as well, but the central component and goal of education should be the academic growth of our children.
This year, however, I believe that achieving that academic growth may require us to focus more strongly on our students as individuals, from their social and emotional development to their mastery of the skills that will most enable their future learning.
