Curriculum
District 303's educational program is characterized by a tradition of recognized academic achievement, talented faculty, many highly successful championship level athletic teams and award winning fine arts programs.
Guided by the District 303 Vision Statement and Goals, and led by the Department of Learning and Teaching, District 303 staff is actively involved in curriculum renewal and redesign in partnership with the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy along with Brown University. Many staff members and instructional teams have been recognized at the state and national levels for successful and innovative programs.
All staff members benefit from a variety of continuing education courses offered through the district's own university-caliber professional development program. As of summer 2005, eight District 303 teachers had achieved National Board certification, the highest level of certification available to educators.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
