Curriculum

The Curriculum, Assessment & Professional Development Department includes three areas that support student learning in the Bellingham School District. Their goal is to help increase student achievement and ensure that Bellingham students leave the district with the knowledge and skills that they will need to live and work in an increasingly complex world. These service areas are in Curriculum, Professional Development and Assessment and Evaluation. These three service areas work together as a team to coordinate program efforts across the district.
