Five Year Curriculum Evaluation/Revision Cycle PHILOSOPHY Curriculum review and revision is an on-going process. Major revision projects occur on a five-year cycle. During the 2006-2007 school year, the areas of Physical Education and Health and Social Studies for grades 6 through 12 were revised to reflect the current research and New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. During the 2007-2008 school year, the major revision projects focus on Science, Guidance, and Technology for Grades K-12. Elementary Curriculum Councils have been established in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Technology. The goal is to provide a forum for the teachers of Kindergarten through Grade 5. Specifically, the task of each group is to articulate subject area curriculum among the grades, as detailed in our district curriculum. The councils address implementation issues and more importantly, serve as a conduit for good practices among elementary teachers. Teachers in the secondary schools meet at the department label to discuss issues relating to curriculum and instruction in their subject area.
