The purpose of the Assessment and Reporting Committee (ARC) is to use state frameworks and credible sources to build capacity, promote professional dialogue, and problem solve grade level questions and concerns in a safe and fair environment.
The ARC is comprised of representatives of each grade level from our 18 schools across VESD.
Our negotiated ratification packet, which passed vote (1/14/20) and Board approved (1/15/20) contains language involving the ARC. Article XIII: Compensation states “ARC will collaboratively create Common District Focus Standards on ELA and Math for each grade level to be implemented in the 2021-2022 school year”. Below are artifacts of grade level collaboration to develop the Focus Standards. Please refer to the VESD Curriculum page to access the Focus Standards in their entirety.
