This matrix contains the new curriculum materials such as semester syllabi, unit plans, lesson samples, and assessments documents for the newly redesigned course and is the best place.
We invite you to collaborate with us during the 2005–2006 school year based on your ideas and experiences implementing the new curriculum in your classroom. For example, we welcome general feedback to examples of unit lessons you create which are successful in the classroom. Please submit all ideas and examples to gilberto_munoz@dspk12.org.
