The Department of Curriculum and Instruction is dedicated to fostering student achievement by providing comprehensive support to our schools, administrators, teachers, and students. Our core function is to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for future success.
We achieve this mission through a variety of key tasks and services:
Professional Development: We equip teachers and administrators with the latest research-based instructional strategies and tools through targeted training and ongoing coaching. This empowers them to create engaging and effective learning environments for all students.
Curriculum Development: We design, implement, and refine a rigorous and relevant curriculum that challenges students and promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.
Building Relationships: We work in close partnership with district leaders, principals, teachers, and students to create a collaborative network that supports student learning and well-being. This includes providing resources and programs directly to students.
Our academic focus is designed to inspire and engage students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. We believe in a balanced approach that fosters critical thinking and a love for learning.
We invest in the ongoing professional development of all our staff, including teachers, support staff, and leaders. This ensures our educators have the latest strategies to enhance student learning and calibrate expectations across our system, providing consistency and excellence for every student.
Through initiatives like teacher release days, learning labs, and facilitated professional learning communities, we provide our staff with dedicated time to collaborate, learn, and grow.
Our visual and performing arts program is a vibrant community where students find their voice and express themselves. It's a place to discover your artistic passions, connect with a peer group that shares your interests, and build a sense of belonging. Through creativity and performance, we empower students to explore their unique talents and bridge connections with others.
