Do you want a voice in how curriculum and instruction are developed in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)? Are you passionate about making sure students, families, and teachers are heard in shaping MCPS’s educational vision?
The Montgomery County Council of PTAs (MCCPTA) is seeking PTSA representatives to serve on MCPS’s Curriculum Advisory Committees (CACs) and the Curriculum Advisory Assembly (CAA). These committees, run by MCPS, meet just four times a year—but your impact can last for years to come.
What you’ll do:
- Join subject-specific CACs (like math, science, or language arts) and the broader CAA to learn about and weigh in on big-picture curriculum, assessment and instructional issues.
- Ask questions, preview changes before they’re rolled out, and share your perspective.
- Ensure the voices of parents, students, and teachers are represented.
- Meet other MCCPTA reps, hear from central office, teachers and students, and share knowledge and experiences from all parts of the County
Important details:
- Meetings are held quarterly, usually from 4:15 to 6 p.m. by Zoom. Dates TBD. Reps only need to attend the half of the meeting dedicated to the subject matter-specific issues but are welcome to attend the broader Assembly as well.
- We especially encourage representatives who can bring Special Education, ESOL, and Gifted Education perspectives, as well as voices from across Montgomery County’s diverse schools and communities.
Apply by September 30!
