Curriculum Development
This policy will apply to grades preschool through twelve and will establish the basic philosophy on which the curriculum will be developed.
The Franklin Public School District will continually review and develop curriculum to meet the needs of the students in its schools. To be successful, curriculum development must be a collaborative enterprise involving staff and administrators utilizing their professional expertise. Such curriculum development should align with the five essential skills of Franklin’s Portrait of a Graduate: Confident and Self-Aware Individual, Empathetic and Productive Citizen, Curious and Creative Thinker, Effective Communicator and Collaborator, and Reflective and Innovative Problem-Solver.
The faculty and administration will regularly evaluate the education program and to recommend modifications of practice and changes in curriculum content as well as the addition or deletion of courses to the instructional program in accordance with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks.
