The Shorewood School District provides a liberal arts education responsive to each student’s interests and abilities, earning national recognition for its tradition of excellence in education. Shorewood is committed to giving our students in 4K through grade 12 the opportunity to participate in authentic learning experiences that build their capacity to innovate, work together to solve problems, and contribute to their community. Shorewood also emphasizes whole-child wellness.

WISCONSIN ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Teaching in the District aligns with Wisconsin Academic Standards, which specify what students should know and be able to do in the classroom. The standards are essential in ensuring schools offer opportunities for students to understand the knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond the classroom.

The District’s three-year curriculum evaluation and improvement cycle includes:

  • a review of standards that apply to the content area being examined and a review of curricular resources to ensure alignment to these standards (Year One);

  • a curriculum mapping process (Years One and Two) that ensures alignment of resources and assessments to standards;

  • the creation of an implementation plan, including needed professional development (Year Two); and

  • after implementing the curriculum, an evaluation of outcomes and student results (Year Three).
