Teaching and Learning
The Teaching and Learning Department exists to ensure high levels of learning and growth for all students, kindergarten through eighth grade, in our 16 LESD schools. We support teachers and administrators in delivering high-quality, standards-based instruction that engages learners at all levels. Our comprehensive programs and multi-tiered systems of support ensure that every Litchfield Learner reaches their potential. Through ongoing professional development, implementation of evidence-based resources, and use of collaborative structures, we foster professional growth for all staff and learning for all students.
