District Curriculum Highlights

Curriculum Articulation 

K-12 teachers are engaging in the ongoing process of documenting, reviewing, and revising the district curriculum. This process includes ensuring a rigorous curriculum which reflects the Common Core skills of speaking, listening, writing, viewing, critical thinking, and creating.

The Wilton-Lyndeborough Cooperative School District has partnered with Rubicon Atlas Curriculum Management System to assist in our efforts to develop and articulate the district curriculum, creating an equitable educational experience for all our students.  Rubicon Atlas Management System will allow teachers to revise curriculum in real time and make their work available to their peers across the district.  It will support our efforts in all areas of instruction and assessment.
