The transformative power of a high-quality education is our core belief around teaching and learning. Each student in the Clintondale Community School District deserves every opportunity to earn an education that will open the door to live the life they deserve. The driving force of our team's work is to provide these opportunities. The primary purpose of the Department of Teaching and Learning is to improve student academic achievement ensuring alignment of the district’s curricula to state standards; providing quality staff development that promotes student engagement and academic rigor; conducting data analysis to inform instruction; and monitoring teaching and learning to ensure the alignment of curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Professional Development
The Clintondale Community School District will support the goal of improving student achievement by providing quality professional development that opens the doors to improved teaching and learning through content rich, research-based instructional practices. Professional Development (PD) days provide the knowledge and skills necessary to refine the craft of our teachers for their work in the classroom. Teachers continue to make paradigm shifts by ensuring that students are provided with multidimensional instruction and assessment; and, our support staff also engages in professional development that provides them with opportunities to contribute effectively to the overall school climate and culture.

The Department of Teaching and Learning will continue to strive for academic achievement of all students and increase opportunities for students to be successful in the rapidly changing 21st century.
