Curriculum & Instruction

We believe all students can learn, and it is our responsibility to ensure that all students learn in an environment driven by equity, membership in the community, and opportunities to participate in meaningful learning experiences designed to inspire, empower, and engage. The Hazel Park School District is committed to the following beliefs which should be fully supported by the curriculum, instructions, and meaningful assessment practices.

  • The school district supports the social, emotional, physical, and academic needs of each child in a caring, healthy, and safe environment.  

  • All students can learn.

  • A culture that celebrates diversity promotes equity.

  • Student achievement and social-emotional learning are at the core of every decision. 

  • Students are successful when staff, families, and the community are engaged and support learning.  

  • A research-based curriculum, aligned with state standards, is the foundation for high-quality instruction. 

  • Student-driven learning environments foster self-efficacy and individual ownership of learning.

  • Student success is fostered and supported through multiple pathways toward graduation

We accomplish this by developing learning environments that offer a comprehensive educational experience that addresses both the academic and non-academic needs of our students through curriculum, instruction, and assessment that provides system-wide support to schools, families, and the community. This requires the development of a high-quality curriculum, in both core and non-core content areas, supported by high-quality resources.
