Curriculum & Instruction

The work of the Curriculum & Instruction Department is directed by the district’s mission: “To educate and to inspire a community of lifelong learners.” Our aim is to enhance educational consistency with high standards for all and to create a seamless educational experience for all students, kindergarten through twelfth grade.

The Curriculum & Instruction team provides leadership, expertise, and support in the development, implementation, revision, and assessment of all district instructional programs. The department collaborates with principals, teachers, assistants, students, families, and the community to meet the district’s educational goals. The team analyzes and reports on the results of our schools’ PA and national assessments, directs curriculum mapping, and supports schools with local benchmark assessments.

Professional development opportunities are developed throughout the year to include examining the existing curriculum and training our teachers in research-based instructional methods.

The Curriculum team, in collaboration with principals and teachers, has developed a curriculum review cycle that may result in revision and/or replacement of resources. A curriculum cycle ensures the following: 

  • Continuous focus on curriculum as some of the district’s primary work
  • Dependable, timely attention to all content areas
  • Coherent K-12 curricula
  • Systematic allocation of resources
  • Manageable implementation schedules
  • Long-range budget planning
