Westlake Academy Language B Update

At the September 9, 2013 Board of Trustees meeting, staff presented a report on the
Language B services for Westlake Academy. At that time, it was discussed that
curriculum alignment would begin within this area of instruction and t he purpose of this
report is to provide an update and future action plans .
• The staff noted at the board meeting that a Language B committee would be
developed to address the concerns presented by the Board. This committee was
formed and meets bi-weekly. It is comprised of all Language B teachers,
PYP/MYP & DP Coordinators and campus administration.
Update and Progress:
o The committee has affirmed the current language policy and has that in
writing with the PYP/MYP and DP Curriculum Coordinators.
o The committee identified strands to create a common Scope and Sequence,
which include:
Composition – Presentational (Writing Skills)
Literature – Interpretive (Reading Skills)
Grammar & Mechanics – Presentational (Writing Skills)
Vocabulary & Spelling – Interpretive (Reading & Listening)
Presentational (Writing Skills)
Oral Communication – Assessing (Interpersonal Speaking)
These strands align with DP Language B - Spanish and Language A
curriculum framework designated by the International Baccalaureate
organization.
o A current 54-page document is in the “draft” stage with skills being aligned
and overlapping trends being identified. This working document should be
ready for an IB Learns/Third Learning curriculum management upload in
January of 2014. Once uploaded Curriculum Coordinators will work within
their areas of focus to ensure unit planners are developed which will support
high quality instruction for students.
o Scheduling options for Language B during SY 14/15 have been discussed
with the intention of making a recommendation thru the Transition/Facilities

Superintendent
Subject: Discussion of K-G12 Mathematics Curriculum Improvement Strategies
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
High performing school communities continually reflect on opportunities for enhancement in
their academic programs utilizing various forms of input to ensure on-going student
improvement. Based on a recent parent survey completed by the Board of Trustees, Texas
Education Agency student performance data, International Schools Assessment – ISA results,
curriculum audits, informal conversations and the introduction of new Standards of Instruction
(TEKS) by the State of Texas, Westlake Academy staff has focused their efforts on improving
and aligning Math instruction for students.
A position of encouraging continuous improvement allows our campus to move from basic
passing criteria and application of skills to measurement standards which challenge the top
quartile of student performance. The Staff wishes to focus on challenging our Math program to
meet high standards of functioning, whatever a student’s current level of proficiency might be in
math, which will in turn then create pathways for our students’ success going forward in their
academic setting.
