The Mission

The Mission of Curriculum and Instruction - Science is to provide curriculum leadership and instructional support for the development of scientific literacy to impact student achievement and promote lifelong learning.  In doing so, we aim to improve the teaching and learning in science so that all students are ensured an equitable standards-based education; implement development opportunities for every teacher of science, which is designed to enhance performance and produce systemic reform; and promote parental involvement through community awareness of all stake holders in scientific education of M-DCPS students.  Additionally, the Division coordinates the implementation of grants for science reform in order to maximize achievement of all students in science and produce lifelong learners who can meet the challenges of the 21st century.
