The Curriculum Team was established in 2015 to serve as an instructional liaison between central office and all schools in the West Virginia Schools of Diversion & Transition (WVSDT) district.
Our goals are to:
- Identify critical concepts and prioritize content standards to help teachers and principals instruct students in multi-level and multi-ability classrooms.
- Provide effective educational programs to meet learning deficiencies in youth and adult classrooms.
- Establish partnerships with organizations that support education for adjudicated youth and justice-involved adults.
- Support teachers and principals with the implementation of Integrated Education and Training Programs
