Teaching & Learning

Administrative leadership for teaching & learning in the Trumbull Public Schools is provided by:

The center of any educational system is its teaching & learning, and the strength of any educational system is a direct reflection of that teaching & learning. All aspects of teaching & learning in the Trumbull Public Schools are developed, organized, supported, and evaluated by the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessments.

  • Through ongoing curriculum development, evaluation, and renewal, we focus on what students are asked to learn.

  • Through ongoing instructional development, evaluation, and renewal, we focus on how students are asked to learn.

  • Through ongoing assessment development, evaluation, and renewal, we focus on how students are provided feedback on how well they have learned.
