Our Curriculum "Heat Map"
A "Heat Map" is the term used by the PD Team to graphically represent our priorities in the Office of Curriculum & Instruction. Historically, it has been an internal working document, organizing and prioritizing the team's initiatives to ensure that the right priorities continue to move forward with focus and urgency. It is also a way for the team to coordinate priorities which may intersect with priorities of other team members.
Green = Implementation
Orange = Priority Work Being Done
Red = Highest Priority
