Teaching & Learning
The Teaching and Learning Department is committed to helping the schools in our district meet the needs of each and every student.
Because of this core belief to reach every student, every time, all the time, we embrace the principles of personalized learning in all that we do - thoughtful lesson design using rigorous curriculum, assessment information to drive instruction, student voice and choice in the classroom, meaningful integration of instructional technology and other tools to engage students, and authentic and honest feedback to students about their learning and progress.
