Welcome to Curriculum and Instruction

  • The Curriculum & Instruction Department is responsible for guiding the development of the curriculum for the District. Missouri’s Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) sets the learning standards for each grade level.  We then form committees of teachers under the guidance of a curriculum coordinator to write a curriculum aligned to Missouri’s Learning Standards (MLS) to teach to our students at each grade level.  Curriculum coordinators and curriculum coaches also train and provide feedback to principals and teachers in the delivery of the curriculum.  We use both state and local assessments to measure progress toward each learning standard. 

    More information about our curriculum, development process, contact information, and helpful resources can be found by clicking on one of the links to the left.
