Teaching & Learning Department
SCOE's Teaching & Learning (T & L) Department assists schools and districts in providing high quality, innovative services to support the learning of all students. With the shift in the role of County Offices of Education to support districts as part of a continuous improvement process, the T&L Department is realigning its support to districts to include three primary areas of focus: systems, content and external partnerships. Services provided to districts by the T & L Department include General Support, Differentiated Support, and Special Programs. You can learn more about our certificated team by clicking here.
