Who We Are               

 

The Teaching & Learning Department provides leadership, service and support in all areas of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional learning so that all students an teachers can perform to their highest potential.  The Teaching & Learning Department works with teachers, administrators, and support staff across all district schools to ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum is in place at all schools across grade levels and content areas.  

 

The Teaching & Learning Department focuses its work on three areas:  Curriculum (what we teach), Instruction (how we teach) and Assessment (how we know our students are learning).
