Message from the Superintendent

It is hard to believe that it is already second semester.  Our administration, teachers, and support staff are continually striving to serve the academic needs of our students in DUSD.  

The Arizona Department of Education will be adopting the Common Core Standards for the 2013/2014 school year.  These standards will be nationwide.  With all of these changes, teachers must have training in order to gain the knowledge needed to implement them.

In addition, much is being asked of our schools in terms of new curriculum practices and strategies.  

     Every Tuesday afternoon, our teachers and staff are involved in professional development.  This is the reason for the early dismissal on Tuesdays.  Our teachers are learning new and better ways to meet the needs of the students in the Douglas Unified School District.

Some of the topics that have been part of the professional development include:  

  • Math content and strategies for middle school teachers
  • Lesson planning
  • Research-based instructional strategies
  • Math Practices for Common Core for elementary students
  • Literacy Centers
  • SmartBoard Lessons

This is just a few of the topics that have been covered during the professional learning time on Tuesdays.

We are looking forward to a successful semester as we begin 2012!
