Questions for a district curriculum meeting
- Which students receive instruction, in which grades and subjects, and for how much time?
- What sequence connects computing concepts, data, AI understanding and digital judgment?
- Who teaches it, and what training, preparation time and accessible materials do they receive?
- Which documented funding or services can support delivery, and what remains a local budget decision?
- What student work demonstrates understanding? Check who participates and who is missing.
These are Stewart Brown’s planning questions, not additional legal requirements.
