The following self reported and verified activities were conducted by the Hoboken Curriculum Committee on July 29, 2009. -Dr. Petrosino
Social Studies- We are proud to say that we are finished! We feel we have created a sound curriculum that will serve to elevate the level of study in the area of Social Studies for years to come.
World Language- Today, we revised and reformatted the rubrics for the Diploma Program. We began to write district wide assessment for grades 1 to 5.
Mathematics- Today July 29th, we have finished the midterms for grades 4 - 8. Grades 1 - 12 are all in the new format and in their perspective folders. We cleaned up the folders and organized both new and old formats.
Disclaimer: The 2009 Summer Curriculum Committee is roughly 50% the size of the 2008 Summer Curriculum Committee (29 teachers vs 60 teachers) and the budget allocated is approximately 2/3 less than the allocation for Summer 2008. Dr. Petrosino has explained numerous times that this represents a significant reduction in both expenditures and faculty involved with the curriculum project.
