Curriculum and Instruction Homepage
Teaching and learning are at the core of the district's mission. The design, development and implementation of a cohesive, aligned curriculum, supported with effective instruction and quality assessment comprise the foundation on which we build the educational program for our students.
In the past few years, the school district has shifted from a topic-based description of curriculum (what is taught) to a standards-based description (what students learn). This shift aligns the district with the direction established by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and with national standards in all subject areas. Our work to align our curriculum with standards has helped ensure a coherent program, grade to grade, that is comparable on both campuses. A standards-based curriculum focuses our teaching on what students should know and be able to do.
The Assistant Superintendent of the Lincoln School District provides overall direction for the work on curriculum. Faculty curriculum leaders and members of the teaching staff from the Lincoln and Hanscom schools actively collaborate on specific projects and initiatives that support curriculum improvement.

Standards-based Report Cards
Report Card Information
We believe that an approach to learning and teaching anchored in clear standards provides every student with a strong curriculum and gives teachers the solid ground on which to design and carry out excellent and innovative teaching.
Reporting on student learning should reveal how well students achieve relative to the standards at the foundation of instruction. Therefore, the Lincoln Public School district has developed report cards at all grade levels to show student learning in terms of grade level indicators that are connected to larger standards.
The document resources and podcasts below offer parents more information about our approach to teaching and learning and about the report cards. For further information, please contact the office of the Assistant Superintendent at 781-259-9401.
The following document resources provide parents and caregivers with the actual report card at each grade.
There are also pdf documents about our approach which is “standards-based.”
