To my knowledge, Leander has not been through a curriculum audit. We do have a district-wide scope and sequence for each course organized by Essential Units of Study. I would say this is less detailed than a "curriculum guide", but gives teachers some flexibility to use various resources. We don't all use exactly the same documents from one school to the next, but do use generally the same materials within the school because we are organized into collaborative teams. In our teams, we plan a timeline and agree to which documents we will use. This year, we have Eduphoria, so if we have an activity or something that is considered a "Best Practice", we send it to our district collaborator who makes it available for all teachers in the district to use.  I think Leander could benefit from a curriculum audit in that it will illuminate the communication chain of how administrators are truly "managing the curriculum". An audit will also determine if the assessments we are using effectively gauge whether students truly understand the required objectives.
