Teaching and Learning / About Us

The Division of Teaching and Learning

The Division of Teaching and Learning is responsible for providing academic and instructional support to District staff. The Deputy Superintendent for Teaching & Learning and the Chief Academic Officer oversee the work of this Division and design and implement best practice instructional systems to ensure the alignment of curriculum, instruction, research, assessment, and supporting resources.

Our goal is to ensure high-quality teaching and learning is happening in every classroom, every day so that all students are prepared for college, careers, and civic life.
