Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

The District Office provides resources for Curriculum, Assessment & Instruction.  It offers guidance to staff designed to improve student learning.  In partnership with district schools and regional partners, we oversee District instructional programs including teaching and learning, federal programs, data collections, assessment and instructional materials.

We offer a range of resources for teachers and students to support the District’s mission.  It is our goal to achieve equity and excellence through high expectations for teaching & learning throughout the Colton School District.
