Curriculum

The district uses a variety of assessments to improve our instruction and better meet the needs of our students. Feedback about how students are learning is pivotal for increasing students learning. Every day teachers use formative feedback from classroom observations and classroom assessments to improve their instruction. The district also uses some common assessments to determine which students need enrichment and interventions. State assessments are used to gauge how the district is doing in relation to other districts and the state as a whole. Confidentiality of student data is very important to us, and we use many precautions to make sure that the confidentiality of student assessment data is protected.

The district aligns its curriculum resources to improve the learning of all students. Curricula acts as a guide for what students need to know and do as well as how to achieve those goals. Curriculum resources look different for individual departments, from tubas to textbooks. Curricula is designed to be a tool to create a valid and reliable learning environment for all students.

Each student is different and has different learning needs. Most of these needs can be met in the classroom through differentiation and interventions. We use a variety of interventions to support students who struggle and push those who are excelling. We strive to push students to reach their greatest potential.
