Academics
Excellence in Learning
In the Providence Public Schools District, our mission is to enable every student to discover and develop his or her unique talents and to ensure that each student achieves high standards through the provision of a rigorous and challenging common core curriculum. The Office of Teaching and Learning at Providence Public School District (PPSD) supports all educators with the knowledge, skills, and resources that they need to provide every PPSD student with an equitable, culturally and linguistically sustaining, engaging academic experience.
The team provides school administrators and teachers with professional development and coaching opportunities to acquire new skills and knowledge based on data-driven instruction. The Office of Teaching and Learning works together with educators to accelerate the achievement of all students; align curriculum to assure students are college and career ready; and prepare students for the 21st century global society.
Curriculum Directors oversee core content areas and provide instructional support for schools on how to teach lessons from their respective curriculums.
