In 1996-97 a new series of mathematics texts was put in place. This year, new Language Arts texts are being utilized. Throughout the district, a high priority is placed on students having a sufficient quantity of current instructional materials. Technology is widely in use for instruction and management purposes. Each school, as well as the district, has a web site.
Teachers assume leadership responsibilities at all schools.
There are sixteen Mentor Teachers who not only provide staff development, but special coaching for new teachers. The Association of California School Administrators has recognized many of our administrators for exemplary achievement. Our district-developed criterion referenced tests for grades kindergarten through 6 are used to measure student progress and attainment of District goals. The ongoing refinement of these performance indicators assures alignment with the state's frameworks and curriculum. We will continue to use multiple assessment methods to insure that each student's progress is accurately measured.
