We Need Your Input: New Science Curriculum

Posted on 12/14/2022

We are upgrading our science curriculum at SRES - and you're invited to help with this exciting process!

It has been more than seven years since SRES adopted a science curriculum, and in that time much has changed. Arizona adopted a new set of standards for teaching science that was very different than what was in place before. This means that in order to prepare our students well, we need materials and programs that follow the new standards.

Our teachers have been doing this on their own the last few years, but it is time to change that. Currently, we are looking at two publishers for our next science curriculum: Fossweb and Savvas Elevate.

Fossweb is published by Delta Education. It is from the same company that SRES adopted before, but it has been revamped to meet the new standards. View the Foss brochure.

Please explore the information online. We will also have materials for you to explore and review at the next Superintendent Community Forum with Dr. Herne on Thursday, Feb. 23.
