    Our Mission

    The goal of the Murrieta Valley Unified School District Staff Development Program is to improve the quality of classroom instruction by increasing the skills and competence of all teachers, thereby improving educational opportunities for the district's students.

    Programs Designed to Support Experienced Teachers

    These programs operate under the auspices of the Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) Joint Committee, a seven-member panel composed of three district administrators and four Murrieta Teacher Association representatives.

    • Pending - Special Education Teacher Representative

    District representatives
