Curriculum & Instruction

Educational continuity across all schools creates a seamless educational experience for all students.

The Department of Curriculum & Instruction supports student learning through the development of district curriculum, the administration of state and district assessments, and the promotion of teacher learning and professional growth. The work of the Department of C&I is anchored by the RPS' primary goal: increased student achievement through cohesive curriculum.

Literacy

We envision a vibrant culture of literacy that cultivates a joy for reading, writing, and learning and inspires stakeholders to contribute to and participate in the overall success of our students.

We strive to ensure that all RPS students will be reading on grade-level in 3rd grade and all RPS graduates will have the reading, writing and communication skills to be college, civic, and career ready.

Learning Targets

Learning targets are the foundation of a student-engaged assessment system. 

Learning targets provide a clear vision of the intended learning and are tracked carefully by students and teachers. 

Because they are written for and owned by students who strive to say, “I can…”, they are an essential ingredient in the engaged part of student-engaged assessment.
