• Goals for Curriculum
• The District articulates its plan of action
  through the Local
• Education Agency (LEA) plan that states
  specifically how to
• support schools and our employees in the pursuit
  of
• achieving these outcomes. The LEA plan is built
  on the
• premise that these three outcomes are measured by
  two goals
• and supported by two major cross-cutting
  strategies. These
• strategies are
• - High quality delivery of the core curriculum
  that includes
• understanding content, receiving training on
  teaching
• standards from the curriculum, and
• - High quality teaching based on the practice
  of direct-
• interactive instruction (DII).
