Teaching & Learning
The Department of Curriculum and Instruction's purpose is to lead and support increased student achievement. This is accomplished through collaborative, dedicated work, by high-quality educators partnering with families and community, to meet students' learning needs and goals.

The district curriculum is in a constant state of revision to reflect changes in our society, the requirements of the state, and, most importantly, the needs of the students we serve.
In our curriculum review process, we identify the Essential Learning Targets that each course is designed to help students attain. All classes and learning targets are aligned to national and state standards, state assessments, and local community expectations.
