The Ravalli County Curriculum Consortium (RCCC) empowers teachers to collaboratively design a comprehensive, common curriculum, aligned to the Montana standards, in order to provide students with a rigorous, twenty-first century education.   

 

Goals:

Planning

• The RCCC Directors will represent the RCCC by attending local, regional, and state level professional development and curriculum meetings as needed.
• The RCCC Directors will meet on a monthly basis.  
• All member districts will have representative teachers at curriculum development.
• All member districts will follow the RCCC recommended five-year implementation schedule (See Appendix A).

 

 Venue 

• The RCCC will schedule a time, location, and forum for teachers to collaborate in the development of curriculum.
• The RCCC will follow the accreditation standards which have established 5-year rotation of curriculum revision.

 

 Training

• The RCCC will provide teachers with the framework, tools, and resources to design a curriculum, aligned with the state, that establishes a common, comprehensive set of standards and assessments for our school districts.
• One week of summer training will be devoted to developing each curricular area.  

 

 Implementation

• The RCCC will coordinate professional development.
• The RCCC will address assessment through both formative and summative measurement practices for teachers and students.
• The RCCC will provide a usable document for teachers in our school districts.
