NARRAGANSETT â Narragansett High School (NHS) will infuse its English-Language Arts (ELA) curriculum with new learning materials unanimously approved by the school committee at the Wednesday night meeting. The new package from myPerspectives, a grades 9-12 curriculum, includes teacher licenses, student consumable texts, sets of trade books (digital and some hard copies) and professional development opportunities with the vendor. The district approved a six-year subscription for the product for a total of $68,081.
âI think itâs going to provide consistency at the high school,â said Narragansett School System Curriculum Director Gail Dandurand. âItâs going to up the rigor for sure. And there are also components within this product that will help prepare students for taking the SATs, PSATs and ACTs.â
