Teaching & Learning


The Teaching and Learning Department oversees all aspects of the K-12 curriculum, course offerings, professional development, career and technical education services, gifted education, alternate learning opportunities and assists with intervention planning in all 12 schools. Our goal is to work collaboratively with teacher-based leadership teams at all levels to facilitate the development of curriculum aligned with Ohio’s New Learning Standards for all academic areas.

These learning standards include the full implementation of the new English Language Arts and mathematics Common Core standards. Through teacher-led professional development planning, our department is leading the way for positive change and development of best practices and systems to support teachers, parents, and students to be successful.

The Sylvania School District and the Sylvania Community are dedicated to our students and their athletic endeavors. The Sylvania Athletic Foundation built the Mel Nusbaum Stadium at Southview High School which opened in Fall 2014. The stadium provided the Southview Cougars with a stadium at their school location allowing them to have true home games. The Sylvania Athletic Foundation also renovated Cats Stadium which is home to the Northview Wildcats.

AP Testing

District Testing

Working with building and departmental leaders, this department ensures that students have access to the district-wide testing program, staff have the necessary tools and information to prepare students for the tests and to administer the tests, and administrators have the tools to oversee testing within their buildings. As a district, we rely on the results of state and district testing to shape individual student growth and future learning.
