Fostering a love of lifelong learning for all students
The Department of Learning & Achievement is committed to:
- Providing quality learning experiences that lead to high levels of learning for each student;
- Delivering professional development opportunities to help teachers learn more about instructional tools that can be used in classrooms, effective teaching practices, and ways to measure student learning; and
- Leading a review of tools used in classrooms, learning activities, and different ways to assess student learning.
We strive to ensure that each student has the opportunity to learn at high levels by focusing on the different ways students learn and connecting what's learned in the classroom to what students experience in their daily lives.
