Cundiff Elementary School A School Division of Innovation In 2021, Roanoke County Public Schools was among the first school districts in the Commonwealth to earn the distinction as a " School Division of Innovation " by the Virginia Department of Education. While there are some educational programs that may be innovative, they only benefit a small subset of students. The district is in the process of embedding existing curriculum with exemplar deeper learning experiences that are mapped to key skills of citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking. By the time students graduate, their normal progress through the curriculum will take them through engaging curated lessons designed to push the limits of their creativity and critical thinking. At graduation, they will have a portfolio of their work which will demonstrate that they are " Opportunity Ready, " prepared to take advantage of whatever opportunity comes their way.
