SCCSD recognizes the responsibility of providing our students with the most current research and best practices available in the field of education.
A curriculum cycle has been developed to review, evaluate, and update all subject areas on a regular basis. This process involves alignment to Mississippi Learning Standards and Performance Descriptors, ongoing analysis of data, focus on student learning, and a mindset of continuous improvement.
The department also emphasizes preparation and continuing professional development for educators at all grade levels. Resources are available through federal programs to supplement and enhance opportunities for students to learn and for parents and teachers to support students in the learning process. Professional work days, academic workshops, and state conferences are just some of the opportunities available our teachers.
Our curriculum, based on the Common Core State Standards provides challenging expectations and engaging experiences for all students. Our philosophy is based on the concept that all students can achieve at high levels. We recognize that a strong education is the key which allows our students to fully participate in our society.
We are continually examining our curriculum to determine areas of improvement, while consistently developing and refining meaningful assessments to evaluate student progress in order to alter instruction, allowing for student success.
