Curriculum and Instruction / Professional Learning

Sara Domonoske, Director of Curriculum and Instruction

Welcome to Team Learning Innovations which covers curriculum, instruction, professional learning, and educational technology

The Learning Innovations team coordinates professional learning within UUSD. Professional Learning is a systematic process of support for adult learners, specifically teachers. The focus is on Better First Instruction which is defined as high-quality instruction provided to all students. This results in approximately 80% of students not needing academic supports beyond Tier 1 instruction. Innovative practices include standards, curriculum aligned to standards, differentiation, evidence-based practices, and formative assessment practices.
