Curriculum
Where am I?
Welcome to the Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment resource site
In the Kirkwood School District, we define curriculum as “the what”.Our curriculum outlines represent what we expect students to know and be able to do.Instruction is “how” we support student learning.We will differentiate, based on student needs, in order for all students to meet and exceed expectations.Assessment is the means by which we determine student mastery and proficiency on our defined expectations.This information is shared with students and parents through numerous documents (available below and to the left).Teachers will communicate information about classroom instruction, student needs and achievements through electronic tools and conversations.Assessment is frequent so students can demonstrate growing competencies.Ongoing assessment information is shared by sending home materials, offering electronic access, and conducting parent-teacher conferences.Proficiencies are reported quarterly on report cards.
Here is a narrated slide show about curriculum, instruction and assessment in Kirkwood Schools:
