Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment

The mission of the Warwick Public Schools curriculum department is to provide our students with a rigorous, guaranteed, viable, and engaging K-12 curriculum based on Common Core and State standards. Our priority is to meet the diverse needs of all of our students so that all of them can achieve success. Warwick has specific grade-level curricula for all content area disciplines. Using state and local assessments, we continuously measure student growth, offer intervention services as needed, and provide enrichment to those who exceed the standards. The curriculum office staff oversee the development and implementation of curriculum, instruction, and assessment and provide professional development to staff that is aligned to the District Strategic Plan.
