Adolescent Parent Program
At the time of the review, eight students were enrolled or present in the Adolescent Parent Program. The review team noted that although there are sufficient instructional materials available, the texts were not adopted by the local board, which needs to be resolved. It was further noted that the age of the books predate the current state adopted curriculum frameworks and in many cases the materials were published before the adoption of the state's content standards.
Based on the age of the materials used in this program, we believe the textbooks may not be consistent with the content and cycle of the state curriculum frameworks and state board adopted content standards. (The most recent State Curriculum Frameworks adoption dates are as follows: History-Social Science Framework-2001, Mathematics Framework-2000 (Draft Mathematics Framework-2004), Reading/Language Arts-1999, Science Framework-2003. The State contents standards are as follows: History-Social Science-1998, Mathematics-1997, English Language Arts-1997, Science-1998.)
