Curriculum & Instruction

• Lead educators in the development of standards-based, rigorous curriculum and instruction

• Ensure purposeful professional learning opportunities for administrators and teachers 
• Sustain reflective growth opportunities
• Provide relevant curricular and assessment information to families

Curriculum writing is much more than unwrapping standards, creating assessments, establishing essential questions and big ideas. It is a process for teachers to determine the vital transferable learning. This requires collaborative, rich dialogue and a deep understanding of what students need to be able to do. 

As Marzano's research indicates, the number one impact on student achievement is the TEACHER. Teachers must be at the center of this work.
