Instruction Department

Curriculum and Instruction

The Forest Hills Public Schools Instruction Office provides resources and services to district teachers that support high-quality instruction in every school.

We are committed to ensuring high levels of learning for every student. Our practices are predicated on both the science of teaching, through the use of effective instructional practices that are grounded in research, and the art of teaching, through the use of student-centered innovative and promising practices.

Educator teams throughout our district engage in collaborative and job-embedded professional learning that empowers them to create learning experiences and environments that engage, motivate, and prepare students for life, meaningful work, and civic responsibilities.
