The Del Norte Unified School District offers a comprehensive education for our students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, History/Social Science, Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education, World Languages, Career Technical Education (CTE), and English Language Development (ELD). Our department has resources for students, parents, teachers and administrators. The Curriculum and Instruction Department works with site principals, instructional coaches, and grade level facilitators to offer educators job-embedded professional development, workshops and training to prepare our students to be career and college ready and provide them with the skills to become involved and productive citizens in our communities. The Curriculum and Instruction Department also coordinates student testing, facilitates grants in the district and supports school sites with technology integration and instructional coaching.
The California State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
