Teaching & Learning

Welcome!

The Laurens County School District #55 Department of Teaching & Learning is responsible for assessing, developing, and evaluating curriculum. We support administrators, teachers, and other instructional personnel as they engage students in quality learning experiences leading to higher student achievement. We also provide opportunities that increase content knowledge and recognize best instructional practices for administrators, teachers, and support staff.  Through innovative initiatives, we seek to engage parents and the community in the education process.
