Curriculum Dates

Curriculum (what we teach), instruction (how we teach) and assessment (how we know students are learning) are at the heart of the Wanaque Public Schools. 

The purpose of the Wanaque School District’s curriculum is to provide our students with an outstanding instructional program that results in high student achievement. Curriculum development in the district is guided by the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS), the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and research-based educational practices.

In our school district, all curriculum areas are reviewed and revised at least every five years. Committees of teachers and administrators research the best educational practices, review current curriculum and materials, align curriculum objectives, develop revisions, pilot, and develop plans for program implementation and evaluation. An extensive professional development program provides staff with the necessary training and support to implement an outstanding educational program.
