Welcome to the Division for Learning & Teaching webpage. We are proud to share the work of our team as we strive to provide optimal learning experiences and opportunities for our students. Our division is responsible for the planning, coordination, direction, assessment and evaluation of the OMSD curriculum, instruction, and assessment programs. We also provide a full range of services to meet the needs of students with disability. Please click the Pupil Personnel Services link to the right to learn more about services and programs designed to meet the needs of our students with disabilities.
To ensure that these programs focus on current research-based best practices that guarantee student success, we offer timely and effective professional development for all staff.
