Reorganization of the OTL WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE
This year, the Office of Teaching and Learning underwent a significant reorganization designed to better support educators and align curriculum, instruction, and professional development across all grade levels and content areas. This reorganization will address: PK–12 Curriculum Alignment: A new districtwide system will ensure consistent, aligned curriculum and assessment practices across all grade levels and schools. Equity and MTSS Implementation: Addressing inconsistent instruction and gaps in Tier 1 curriculum to strengthen equitable access and enable effective Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Coordinated Professional Learning: Professional development will be aligned with district priorities to support coherent, systemwide improvement. Measuring Impact and Ensuring Equity: Establishing systems to evaluate curriculum effectiveness and ensure equitable distribution of resources and opportunities. The new model includes dedicated directors for PreK–12 English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Humanities (including Fine and Performing Arts, Social Studies, World Language, and PE/Health and Wellness), as well as a Director of Professional Learning. Next year, staff can expect clearer communication, stronger alignment of curriculum and instructional practices, and more targeted, high-quality and coordinated professional development. These new roles are designed to foster collaboration, ensure consistency across schools, and provide timely, relevant support to teachers and principals. Whether through curriculum planning, coaching, or job-embedded PD, this restructured team will work closely with school leaders and teachers to elevate instructional practice and ensure every student experiences a cohesive, high-quality learning journey.
