Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District is committed to delivering knowledge-rich curriculum that strengthens foundations in literacy, mathematics, science, history, and civics. Grounded in direct instruction and the science of reading, our approach ensures that all students develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for academic success. We apply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to offer multiple pathways for students to engage with high-quality instruction and demonstrate their learning.
Through Project Momentum and the district’s Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS), we use data-informed strategies and targeted interventions to promote continuous student growth. Our dedicated educators work collaboratively to align curriculum with Arizona Academic Standards, select high-quality instructional materials, and implement evidence-based practices. With a strong focus on teaching and learning across all subjects, Cottonwood-Oak Creek prepares students for academic achievement and lifelong success.
