Management Cycle addresses the need for the continual improvement and / or updating of the schools‘ instructional programs through the periodic re-examination of curriculum. The process is recursive and usually occurs within a five year cycle. The full cycle includes two phases. Phase I: Evaluation / Development and Phase II: Implementation / Monitoring. Phase I has two steps: Step 1: Program Evaluation and Step 2: Research and Development. Phase II has two steps: Step 1: Program Implementation and Step 2: Program Monitoring. The World Languages committee as of June 2007 has completed the first two steps of Phase I of curriculum revision. After review of the curriculum by the administrative council, the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education, it is anticipated that in September 2007 Phase II: Step 1: Implementation will be initiated. The subject area committee throughout Phase I: Step 2: Research and Development of the Madison Curriculum Management Cycle examined several resources including state and national standards and frameworks for World Language learning as well as curricular programs nationwide. The articulation of the guide‘s goals and standards across grade levels has been examined carefully and has been achieved to the satisfaction of the World Languages committee charged with the development of the guide. The committee believes that the Madison Public School System has developed a quality World Languages program that is planned, ongoing, and systematic. David J.
