The goal of the Council for Instructional Improvement (CII) is to share timely State and Federal resources and information regarding all areas of curriculum and instruction. CII allows for networking among county-wide district leadership. The SMCOE Curriculum and Instruction team and the SMCOE Systems for District Improvement team will co-facilitate these meetings. Meetings will highlight lessons learned in the field and district continuous improvement projects with the lens of building equity and achievement for all students across San Mateo County.
