At schools around the state, classes are just beginning for returning students. But the school year is well underway for the people who put together each district’s curriculum.
John Barone is Curriculum Director of Barre City school. Jean Ward is Curriculum Director of the Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union. They talk with VPR’s Jane Lindholm about how districts choose what to teach and how to teach it – and why those choices have an impact on a school’s ability to meet state and federal standards.
