Teaching & Learning

The MSDWT Teaching & Learning department supports the academic programming in the district. These areas include: Curriculum Development, Instructional Coaching, Special Education, English as a New Language Programming and Instructional Support, Grant Writing and Management (Including Title I, Title II, Title III, and Special Education Grants), Principal Support K-12, Oversight of J.

The Teaching & Learning department supports over 11,000 students each day by providing leadership, oversight, and collaborative decision making processes to each school building in our district. We strive to maximize the limited funds our public school receives in order to meet the needs of our diverse student population.

We also provide ongoing professional development opportunities for our teaching staff, including new teacher professional development monthly sessions, a new teacher mentorship program, hands on and face to face sessions, and summer opportunities.
