What We Do

The Professional Learning and Innovation department oversees and supports the development of new courses, instructional materials adoptions, and professional learning. 

ANNOUNCEMENT:

During the 2021-2022 school year, San Juan Unified is piloting science, health and Spanish instructional materials for possible adoption. In science, we are adopting instructional materials for the following courses: 

• Biology: the Living Earth
• Chemistry in the Earth System
• Physics of the Universe 

We are also adopting materials for the high school health course and Spanish 1, 2, 3, and 4, including the Spanish 1a and 1b courses offered at some middle schools. 

We value stakeholder input on the materials being considered and we are pleased to invite you to preview the materials and share your feedback as we go through the piloting process. There are three options for previewing materials:
