The Board of Trustees continues to prioritize student success by supporting the mission of
Galena Park ISD, which is to prepare students to be lifelong learners� As such, trustees hold
the Curriculum and Instruction Department accountable to ensure that clear expectations
are set for teachers regarding curriculum and instruction� To meet this expectation, Galena
Park ISD has a district-created curriculum which allows instruction to be fluid and responsive
to student data and needs� The curriculum is housed in the digital Curriculum Corner portal;
one-stop shop, to assist teachers and administrators� Teachers in all core areas, Fine Arts,
CTE and Technology will find a curriculum map for each unit of instruction with a wealth of
resources to help enhance their daily lesson plans� The site also provides current updates,
state requirements, and district goals�

In addition, support is provided in Curriculum Corner for Advanced Academics, Bilingual/
ESL, Early Childhood, Special Education, Multicultural Education and Student Assessment�
The district also invests in award-winning elective options for secondary students in foreign
language, LOTC/ROTC, and athletics� With guidance and support for this endeavor from
our trustees, the needs of all students are met, and resources for each unit of instruction are
provided�
