QUALITY
OF INSTRUCTION
TVUSD aligns its curriculum with state
standards and provides enrichment activities at the site level to support
instruction. The District also holds a philosophy
that each school principal should be the Instructional Leader on that cam-pus.
As such, principals take an active role in the learning process at each
TVUSD school, spending much of their day in the classroom.
TVUSD teachers are evaluated and given areas for improvement by
their principals. To aide in this endeavor, administrators are trained in evaluation
skills. This training is designed to help administrators evaluate their staff in a
manner that will produce better teaching in the classroom and thus enhance
student success. Staff development days enhance this
quest for excellence by giving teachers the tools needed to succeed in an on-going
manner.
Goals for Staff Development:
· Support for Literacy
· English Language Arts materials
· Support for math programs
· New teacher training
· Positive classroom management training
