Dr. Janie Pyle, Associate Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, was recently featured in the Journal of Staff Development, published by the Learning Forward Organization.
The article details Pyle’s passion for curriculum and her responsibility to be well-read, well-researched, and well-trained in all parts of curriculum and instruction in order to share with staff. One of her goals is to be very visible to staff.
“When you make this decision to be visible in schools, modeling your expectations and giving effective feedback, change eventually begins to happen,” Pyle said.
Pyle also cites the development of over 100 teacher leaders to model curriculum and teaching for their peers as helping increase accountability for district standards.
“Their classrooms are open models for mentoring new skills and sharing the knowledge of instructional planning and delivery for all our teachers,” Pyle said.
Pyle joined the district in 2010.
