Curriculum

Dallastown Area School District reflects a strong academic emphasis and is aligned with the Pennsylvania Academic Standards. Courses of study, developed by teachers and structured to meet individual needs and capacities of students, are the basis of the instructional program at the elementary and secondary levels. We continue to plan, develop, pilot, implement, evaluate, and revise curriculum each year.

Instruction

Quality instructional delivery is a cornerstone of the Dallastown Area School District. We continually focus our attention on current research-proven practices that will help our students to be successful through the use of modern learning technologies and real world resources and contexts. One current initiative is the Model for Teaching. This multi-year teacher training utilizes the work of prominent educational researchers such as Robert Marzano, David Sousa, Carol Tomlinson, and Madeline Hunter.
