Continuous Improvement in Cortland School District
In the 2016-2017 academic year, Cortland Enlarged City School District focused on a continuous improvement journey, emphasizing essentials, common formative assessments, and the teaching-learning cycle. Goals were set to ensure a guaranteed and viable curriculum, engaging instruction, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. A timeline for curriculum development and instructional cycles was established, with a structured approach for identifying essentials, creating assessments, and making instructional decisions. Collaboration, guidance, and professional development played key roles in implementing these strategies.
