The Colville School District's 2021-2022 Department of Learning plan aims to enhance learning for all students by supporting leaders and educators through evidence-based practices. The vision is for all students to graduate with future plans and goals. This will be achieved through Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), guaranteed and viable curriculums, common formative assessments, data analysis, and refined pedagogy, resulting in a robust multi-tiered system of support (MTSS). The plan includes various initiatives across K-12 teams (ELA, Science, Math, Social Studies), a new teachers' cadre, a highly capable leadership team, a special education PLC, and other learning actions focused on professional development, curriculum review, assessment coordination, and materials purchasing. The overarching goal is to surpass state-level student learning outcomes in Washington state.
