The Teaching and Learning office is responsible for overseeing and supporting the K-12 curriculum that is implemented in every content area and in every grade level. Each content area is reviewed during a designated time period within the established Curriculum Review Cycle. Teams of dedicated teacher leaders work together to complete a formal review of each content area. This work involves studying trends and issues in the content area, identifying best-practice instructional strategies, conducting a needs assessment for our district, creating the curriculum frameworks that indentify the content addressed at each grade level, developing formative and summative assessments that address expected outcomes, and identifying resources/materials that best support teaching the skills students are expected to learn.
