General Information

Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction!

At the core of our work is the CPSD Academic Focus, which guides everything we do to support student achievement and success. Our focus is built on three key pillars:

  • Curriculum: What is being taught? Ensuring students engage with rigorous, standards- based learning materials.
  • Instruction: How is it being taught? Supporting educators in delivering high-quality, engaging teaching strategies.
  • Assessment: How well is it being taught? Evaluating outcomes to promote continuous improvement and effective practices.

Central to this framework are Data Analysis, Interventions, and Professional Development- the essential tools that allow us to meet the diverse needs of students while empowering educators to grow and excel.

Through collaboration, consistency, and innovation, we strive to create meaningful learning experiences and seamless transitions at every educational stage, preparing students to thrive in college, careers, and beyond.

Together, we are building a brighter future one student at a time. Thank you for joining us in this important work!
