Curriculum & Instruction

Educating Every Child, Every Day

In Poudre School District, our curriculum isn't just a set of standards—it is a roadmap designed to ensure every student graduates with options, masters essential literacy, and finds a deep sense of belonging. 

Empowering Educators. Inspiring Learners.

At its heart, the Curriculum & Instruction Team is here to make sure every student in our district receives an extraordinary education. We collaborate with teachers and administrators to build modern, engaging learning experiences that meet students where they are and prepare them for where they want to go. From selecting the best classroom materials to supporting innovative teaching strategies, we are dedicated to helping every student cross the graduation stage with confidence.

Our Key Focus Areas

  • Bringing Classrooms to Life We lead the creation, selection, and rollout of high-quality learning programs and materials that meet state standards and capture students' curiosity.

  • Ensuring Access and Equity We partner with school principals and district leaders to ensure every student, in every classroom, has the resources and support they need to thrive.

  • Using Data to Drive Growth We look closely at student progress to see what is working well and where we can do better, allowing us to close learning gaps and help every student reach their full potential.
  • Supporting Our Teachers We provide our educators with ongoing training and professional learning, equipping them with proven, research-backed teaching strategies that get results.
