This is the first of four pieces from a Knowledge Matters tour of school districts in Delaware, in recognition of the state’s new initiative – called DE Delivers – to encourage adoption of high quality instructional materials in its 19 districts. The tour begins in Seaford, which has seen a stunning turnaround in student achievement in a few short years. Knowledge Matters asked Kelly Carvajal Hageman, director of instruction, to write this piece. She came to the district just as it was implementing Bookworms, an English language arts curriculum that was in its infancy and being co-authored by a professor at the University of Delaware.

Delaware will continue to give first doses of COVID-19 vaccines to thousands of more residents this week, including about 1,000 educators and school staff, despite not being able to promise them a second dose.
Division of Public Health officials said they are concentrating on first doses to reduce current COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths, but added high-risk health care workers need to get second doses as soon as possible.
