K-2 ELA Adoption Information

As most of you know, the state of Ohio has provided districts with a list of approved ELA programs. WCS has met the requirement in grades 3-5 with the use of Wit & Wisdom which is on the approved list. We need to choose a program for grades K-2 off of this list during the 24-25 school year. The intention is to choose a program by December. Training for staff and ordering materials will hopefully take place during third quarter. Teachers will then be able to experiement with the curriculum at some point during the end of the school year with full implementation taking place for the 25-26 school year.

Below, you can see information about our adoption committee. We have even invited grade 3 teachers to be on the committee in order to share their perspectives about how the components of the K-2 programs will prepare students for the rigor of Wit & Wisdom in grades 3-5.

Programs being considered were chosen based on how many other districts in the state of Ohio were implementing them. We have touched based with them about the programs as well.

54 districts have adopted Houghton Miffin Harcourt.
