Curriculum Design and Development

The West Hartford Public Schools curriculum will:

• promote high standards for all students
• serve as a guided plan for teaching and learning
• be based on and aligned with the Board of Education’s
  adopted goals
• provide for the continuous growth and development of each
  student throughout his/her school experience
• require a process of continuous improvement, evaluation,
  and revision to ensure that the curriculum is vibrant and 
  meets contemporary and emerging needs.

The Board of Education recognizes and supports the importance of professional learning and the implementation of our curriculum.  The Superintendent and or his/her designee shall inform the Board of any significant changes to the curriculum and shall schedule periodic curriculum reports as appropriate.
