Stakeholders and Curricular Decision Making<\/h2>\r\n

Parents, Schools, and Communities<\/h3>\r\nParents can be\u00a0 valuable influences on the curriculum adopted at the local level. The Board of Education adopts the curriculum, but the parents are the taxpayers in the district, so they have a vested interest in the way their children are taught.\u00a0 This input can be made through contacting individual teachers and\/or the administration to shape their children\u2019s educations.\r\n

Special Interest Groups<\/h3>\r\nSpecial interest groups advocate for particular policies and focus in education. For example, these groups can be comprised of people from a specific culture, ethnicity, or religious group and may lobby for changes in education through a political lens based on their political party affiliation.\r\n

State Legislatures<\/h3>\r\nPublic schools are funded by taxpayer dollars and governed by\u00a0their\u00a0respective states and departments of education. State legislators tend to focus on what best meets the needs of all students. State legislatures play a vital role in education because they set the state budget for education and pass laws pertaining to the educational system statewide. Some policies are influenced by state legislators and the state\u2019s department of education.\r\n

Schools<\/h3>\r\nThe school\u2019s influence revolves around both the philosophical picture of what schools should accomplish and the practical picture of what to do with the students today. Colleges\u00a0often share their expectations for incoming students so that K-12 teachers can make the students college or career ready.\r\n

Textbooks and Testing Companies<\/h3>\r\nThe states that represent the greatest possible business for the publishers can have tremendous influence over the content of the books. California and Texas, for example, account\u00a0for approximately\u00a020 percent of the textbook market.\r\n

Standards: The Next Generation<\/h2>\r\nThe New York State Board of Regents revised the ELA and Mathematics Learning Standards in 2017. The ELA and Mathematics standards were revised to ensure that New York State has well-crafted standards for our students (NYSED, 2017). This is the information that any teacher and student in New York State will be held accountable for. Creation of good objectives that allow for achievement of both cognitive and affective goals will assist us in meeting these standards.\r\n\r\nRead about the standards on the NYSED website<\/a>.\r\n\r\n ","rendered":"
