CURRICULUM

A MESSAGE FROM DR. MARIE-ELENA J. AHERN,
DIRECTOR OF CURRICULUM

Welcome to the Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment page of the Exeter-West Greenwich Regional School District! As the Director of Curriculum, it is my privilege and pleasure to lead the school district in the development of standards-based curricula, alignment of instructional practices, and advancement of formative and summative assessment tools. Prior to my leadership position in the Exeter-West Greenwich Regional School District, I proudly served as a principal for many years, was one of the state's first instructional coaches, and taught English at the middle school level. In addition to my responsibilities of developing, identifying, implementing, and supporting robust, rigorous, and comprehensive standards-based curricula, instruction, and assessment, my role in EWG is multi-faceted and provides me with the wonderful opportunity of collaborating at all levels of the school district. However, my most favorite is working in the classroom with students!

The resources on this website are the result of continuous collaboration with teachers and administrators whose collective goal is to prepare our students for success beyond high school. I hope you find the resources helpful. Questions, comments, suggestions, and accolades are always welcome at marie_ahern@ewg.k12.ri.us
