Curriculum and Instruction Department
The Medina Valley ISD Curriculum and Instruction Department strives to provide an equitable and continuous learning experience reflecting high expectations that actively engage each student in meaningful, lifelong learning. The department provides teachers and administrators access to information and resources that support rich and rigorous instruction aligned to state standards.
In our schools, students are exposed to rigorous learning opportunities and curricula that transcend state and national standards. We employ master teachers as curriculum writers. These curriculum coordinators work with teams of teachers every day to build engaging and personalized lessons for students. Whether students work in teams or individually, every minute in the classroom is purposeful.
