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
