Curriculum Coordinator

Dr. Kate Abbott

Thank you for visiting the Curriculum Webpage!

As the curriculum coordinator for Salem CSD, I am looking forward to working with teachers and administrators to coordinate the district curriculum across grades and subject areas, and to assist with the alignment to the new common core standards.  The role of the curriculum coordinator also entails the development of alternative programming for students to improve graduation rates and access to opportunities following graduation.   I will also be involved in supporting AIS services to strengthen the response to intervention system in Salem.   Throughout the year as we work to achieve these goals, helpful hints and strategies will be posted on this page, so please visit again!

Curriculum – “a specific blueprint for learning that is derived from content and shapes it into a plan for effective teaching and learning.”
