Curriculum and Instruction
The Office of Academics works to build a strong network between district leaders, school leaders, and teachers, to develop and implement a rigorous, relevant, innovative, and equitable curriculum that engages all students in an exemplary learning environment. We aim for high-quality instruction in every classroom, for every child, every day that will help students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, while also nurturing personal growth and preparing them for the challenges of the 21st century.
