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.
In the Hazelwood School District, we believe that our students are defined by more than one test score. A committee of teachers and administrators met during the 2017-2018 school year to establish criteria for our students to meet to show that they are on the path to being college-ready, career-ready, and life ready at the end of each level of schooling (5th grade, 8th grade, and 12th grade). These benchmarks can be found under the Redefining Ready! tab to the left.
