The Mukwonago Area School District utilizes a unique participatory structure for curriculum review and adoption. Every teacher in the district is a member of a Content Area Team (CAT), which focuses on a particular subject area. Middle school and high school teachers are assigned to a CAT according to their main subject area. Elementary teachers are distributed among each CATs, since they teach a wide array of subjects.
Each team's activities are coordinated by several department chairs. An administrator, a K-3rd grade teacher, a 4th-6th grade teacher, a middle school teacher, and a high school teacher act as the leadership team for each subject area. The administrator and one teacher serve as the overall co-chair of the team.
The CAT, led by the co-chairs, is responsible for analyzing student performance data, soliciting new materials, piloting curriculum, and forming a final recommendation to the school board for any adoption of new teaching resources.
