Teaching & Learning
The Upper Arlington Schools Teaching & Learning Department is responsible for supporting the K-12 educational experience through the development, planning, implementation and assessment of preK-12 academic programming throughout the district. This includes supporting professional development opportunities for staff members to implement academic programming.
The Teaching & Learning Department works collaboratively with the Office of Excellence and Engagement, the Student Services Office and the Technology Department to ensure our programming fulfills our mission of challenging and supporting every student, every step of the way. We are guided in this work by our long-standing whole child philosophy and our Profile of an Engaged Learner, and we are committed to providing our students with authentic learning experiences, through service-learning and real-life learning experiences, that prepare them to serve, lead and succeed.
