Curriculum, Instruction, & Assessment
Public School Districts curriculums are built on the foundation of state & federal educational requirements. Milton Town School District continues to build on those requirements and identifies the needs of our students to develop effective curriculums for our schools.
Milton Town School District employs a multi-level approach to education which includes our EESS (Equity and Educational Support Structure), MTSS (Multi-Tiered Systems of Support), UDL (Universal Design of Learning), and CIP (Continuous Improvement Planning) to develop a Curriculum that meets the needs of every student.
