Standards-Based Curriculum

 

 

 

 

 


Standards-Based Curriculum in the Newton Public Schools means that:

 

  • Expectations for learning are high for ALL students and developmentally appropriate.
  • Standards guide all classroom decisions in our full inclusion school system.
  • The focus is always on student learning - it is multicultural and actively anti-racist.
  • Effective instructional practices result in higher levels of achievement for all students.
  • Assessment outcomes are used to inform the teacher about the effectiveness of curricular and instructional decisions.
  • Assessment templates are used by teachers to inform instruction.
