Welcome toÌýEducational Services!Ìý
Â鶹´«Ã½AV's curriculum and instructionÌýis guided by the district’s mission and strategic plan, the findings and recommendations of the Phi Delta Kappa Curriculum Management Audit, Â鶹´«Ã½AV's Board of Education policy and rules, and the Nebraska Department of Education Rule TenÌýrequirements.
Â鶹´«Ã½AV provides a rigorous curriculum that promotes an Advanced Placement ® culture. The curriculum is aligned with and surpasses the requirements of state standards and indicators. The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Education Program, commonly called the MEP,Ìýconsists of content curriculum, appropriate instructional strategies, and valid assessment methodologies. The MEP also outlines the development phases and timeline for curriculum development. The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Instructional Model, commonly called the MIM,Ìýpromotes instructional best practices that are research-based and data-driven. The offices of elementary education and secondary education oversee the formative and summative curriculum-based classroom assessmentsÌýand diagnostic assessments. These assessments follow theÌýdistrict’s Multi-Tiered Systems of SupportÌý (commonly called MTSS).
You may read more about the Ìýand our Ìýby clickingÌýon each title.
