Curriculum
Otsego Public Schools, as mandated by the State of Michigan, has developed a core curriculum at all school levels. Outcomes to be achieved by all students have been defined based upon the district's educational mission, student performance objectives, Common Core State Standards, the Michigan Grade Level Content expectations for K-8 students and the Michigan High School Content Expectations for 9-12th grades.
Otsego is deeply invested in a process that is considered best practice in education today which is organizing Professional Learning Communities, or PLCs. PLC teams are school improvement teams. They are an effective means of monitoring student growth so teachers can adjust instruction and create interventions to ensure individual student learning.
To further support the PLC process and student success, Otsego Public Schools has implemented delayed start dates for all of our students. Almost every Wednesday, school begins 90 minutes later to allow teachers time to work in their Professional Learning Community teams.
