Curriculum, Instruction, & Accountability

The primary function of the Department of Curriculum is to support campuses through the development and implementation of a high-quality curriculum, research-based instructional practices and programs, and assessments that support student learning.  In addition, the Department provides professional development opportunities for district educators to ensure that they have the content knowledge and instructional skills to effectively deliver and support the implementation of the Bay City ISD curriculum. The Department of Curriculum also oversees Matagorda County Educational Services, the Gifted/Talented and Advanced Academic programs, Career and Technical Education, the Bilingual/ESL programs, Dyslexia services, Counseling services, and Nursing services.  The Department also monitors and assists with services provided through compensatory education and federally funded programs.  While the main focus is supporting high quality, effective first teaching practices, the department supports the varied needs of the District’s diverse student population. 

Curriculum System

BCISD utilizes the TCMPC for its foundation curriculum practices. The Texas Curriculum Management Program Cooperative, or TCMPC, is a shared service agreement among the 20 Educational Service Centers (ESC's) in Texas. This shared service agreement, or SSA, allows participating ESC's to share responsibility for management and operations of the online curriculum management system known as the TEKS Resource System. 

The TCMPC reflects the combined effort of the ESC's to help schools improve student performance and operate more efficiently and cost-effectively.
