Welcome to Curriculum & Instruction

Dear KLSD Families,

The Office of Curriculum and Instruction strives to ensure that all students experience an engaging, relevant, and active learning environment within our schools.  In every discipline, the curriculum is aligned with the most current New York State Standards.  Our curricular resources and instructional practices are research-based and reflect best practices in the field.

In an effort to ensure best practices in our classrooms, we support our educators with ongoing professional learning opportunities both within and outside the district.  Five staff developers join our Director of Technology and me to make up a Professional Learning Team. Together with building and district administrators, we focus on continual improvement in all areas through coaching, workshops, institutes, instructional resources, and coordination of internal committees and external supports. 

Thank you for your partnership in making Katonah-Lewisboro schools an exciting learning environment for our students. 

Mary Ford, Ed. D.
Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
