Our district is commitment to high quality teaching and learning and meeting the needs of every student. Following the KDE model for Standards Rollout, our district engages in on-going professional learning around the Opportunity Myth (OM) and Clarity for Learning. As part of this, we have partnered with TNTP to enhance instructional practices through four key commitments: Grade Appropriate Assignments, Strong Instruction, Deep Engagement and High Expectations.

In addition to these district-wide initiatives, our district provides system for which schools request and receive professional learning opportunities that support district shared curriculum initiatives and address school-specific needs (i.e., evidence-based strategies, strategies to support Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning (CRTL), and standards deconstruction and formative assessment practices.)
