Major Curriculum Initiatives

The COVID-19 Pandemic has required schools throughout the country and throughout the world to change the way they educate students.  General McLane is no different.  The administration, teachers and staff have been working diligently to respond to the pandemic in a way that keeps our community safe while providing a quality education for all of our students.  In the summer of 2020, many administrators and teachers collaborated on a team called The Rapid Response Team for Learning Loss and Learning Forward.  The team was able to analyze Learning Loss caused by the pandemic in the spring of 2020 and prepare curriculum and learning plans for the 2020-21 school year.  Learning Plans for 2020-21 work to close gaps from the spring and focusing on critical content moving forward.  Several other plans and procedures for successfully educating students during the pandemic were also developed.  The following link will take you to a video that summarizes the work on General McLane’s Rapid Response Team for Learning Loss and Learning Forward:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek5vnF68J3Q&t=9s
