Welcome to the Department of Curriculum!

Welcome to Madison-Plains! As we continue our focus on the Madison-Plains Improvement Plan, we continue to experience many exciting developments and enhancements to our educational program. Our focus remains on increasing academic growth for all students. To achieve this goal, we implement Formative Instructional Practices (FIP) in our classrooms to ensure we deliver a rigorous curriculum plan. We employ collaborative teaching and lesson plan practices as our teachers monitor student progress through Teacher-Based Teams (TBTs). All of this important work could not be done without the dedication our teachers have shown to improve the quality of education we provide to our students. As a devoted educator and parent in Madison-Plains Local Schools, I work every day under my belief that “Our children are worth whatever it takes!” Whether you are a staff member, a parent, or a community member, I invite you to join the Madison-Plains community in supporting our mission: 

As a partnership of rural, agricultural communities, 
the Madison-Plains Local School District will achieve excellence 
through quality educational resources to maximize student success.
