The mission of the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) is threefold: (1) To lead and support districts, schools, and communities through a unified, strategic direction for education in the state; (2) To use policy, advocacy, and governance structures to create an environment that advances opportunities for all students; and (3) To maintain collaboration and efficiency in the department that enables innovation, agility, and continuous learning. As an agency, RIDE's core mission is to create an educational landscape that supports student learning. To achieve this mission, RIDE creates the conditions for local education agencies (LEAs) to build and implement a world-class Pre-K to 12 educational system that is rooted in rigorous standards, aligned curriculum and instruction, experiential learning opportunities, and ongoing assessment. RIDE bases its policy and programming decisions on the belief that all students can learn and develop as well-rounded individuals. This report is the strategic plan for PK-12 education in Rhode Island between 2021-2025. It was developed with input from teachers, staff, partners and surveys from the field, the plan provides a clear framework and outcomes that fosters partnership, values diversity, increases transparency, and is results driven.
