It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the North Kingstown
teaching and learning webpage. Our goal is to build a cohesive
system of learning that aligns our instruction, assessment, and
curriculum. In order for students to have access to a
guaranteed and viable curriculum, all stakeholders should be
clear about the learning expectations in each content area and
in each grade level. Our assessment system is a coordinated
plan to monitor student achievement in order to ensure progress
toward these learning expectations.
In addition to our learning
expectations, on this site you will find benchmark assignments
for the elementary and middle school levels and anchor
assignments for the high school. There are also models of
quality work. This helps our whole learning community
understand more clearly what students should know and be able to
do. You will also find information regarding report card dates,
NECAP test scores, and important contact information.

Our future work includes the alignment
of our Mathematics and English Language Arts curriculum to the
Common Core State Standards. We have already begun to implement
instruction based on these standards. We will also be
developing local assessments based on the Common Core State
Standards and preparing for the eventual roll-out of the new
state assessment (PARCC) that will replace the NECAP state test.
Ultimately, we want to prepare students
for the 21st Century. We want to provide students
with the skills to make moral and ethical decisions, help
prepare them for active participation in a democracy, allow them
to fully access and engage in the economy, and live as
responsible citizens within a community.
