WPS - Curriculum Benchmarks

The WPS Curriculum Benchmarks are curriculum outcomes for each grade and discipline based on the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. They were complied by the school system's Curriculum Task Committees under the supervision of Assistant Superintendent Lorraine Tacconi-Moore. The Benchmarks have been grouped by grade and subject and listed in a series of brochures that are available for download below.
