INSTRUCTIONAL PLANNING/SCHEDULING
The Board of Education recognizes that district pupils vary in learning styles and in ability. Therefore, the Superintendent shall ensure that teaching staff adapt their instructional methods and arrangements to meet identified pupil needs and encourage maximum individual progress. The Superintendent shall ensure that district personnel, time and facilities are used in such a way as to provide the most favorable learning environment for all pupils, thus fostering achievement of district goals, objectives and standards. The Board of Education believes that pupils can learn better and faster when the interdisciplinary nature of their studies is emphasized. Therefore, programs, projects and units of study shall be encouraged which require pupils to integrate communications and computation skills with other areas of study, such as social studies, the arts and music. Further, programs that call on various skill levels of several grades in one discipline are valuable in developing both interpersonal relationships and concern for wider issues such as environmental protection, health and safety. Every effort should be made to further district affirmative action/equity goals in developing instructional arrangements.
