The Department of Curriculum and Instruction oversees the curriculum, assessment and instructional improvement initiatives within the district. Student learning is the driving force behind the KASD goals and increased student achievement so that all students are prepared for college and careers after their K-12 education.
The district utilizes professional learning communities to drive instructional change and student learning. The four primary questions centering around curriculum and instruction include:
- What do we want our students to learn? (Curriculum/Standards/Objectives or Learning Targets)
- How will we know students are learning? (Formative and Summative Assessments)
- What will we do if students are not learning? (Differentiation/Intervention)
- How do we respond when students have already learned the material? (Differentiation/Enrichment)
Research-based instructional practices based on the Gradual Release of Responsibility/Workshop model are employed PK-12 to provide high quality instruction and differentiation opportunities.
