Each grade level program was modified so that it featured a telecommunication component. Telecommunication takes place at school and at home. Our grant also enabled us to expand the role of telecommunication in our regular curriculum. We are convinced that the total school curriculum works best when it contains reforms that impact both the classroom and the home. Student learning is measured through specific outcomes.
Parents receive a list of the outcomes in the parent - student handbook.
Each skill that we measure represents a Board approved, and New Jersey Department of Education approved building level objective. Our telecommunication system enables our curriculum to become interactive. Students conduct research, develop partnerships with sister schools and are exposed to different cultures. Teachers, of course, are learners too. Each staff member receives professional development in the field of telecommunication.
