Atlantic City District and Curriculum
The Atlantic City School District operates 11 schools throughout Atlantic City, which serve over 7,000 pre-K-12th grade students. Faculty, staff and parents work collaboratively to support students’ emotional, social, physical and academic growth. This growth is fostered by curricula that have been developed to meet the stringent learning outcomes required in the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum Standards and the Common Core Standards Initiative. In addition to essential academic skills like analyzing, evaluating, and problem solving, students acquire skills that improve their ability to communicate, enhance their understanding and acceptance of others, and facilitate the use of technology.
We currently cover the following Atlantic City-area school district: Atlantic City School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Atlantic City District Curriculum
The Atlantic City School District curriculum places emphasis on student achievement of the New Jersey Common Core Standards. These standards provide student performance guidelines in all core subjects. Students are also required to meet proficiency in math and language arts, whose standards are set forth in the Common Core Standards.
Students begin to learn about technology in preschool, where they are familiarized with the essential components of computers, such as the keyboard, mouse and power button. In elementary school, this basic knowledge is expanded to include learning how to type, use word processing software and learning how to use the Internet in a safe manner. In middle school, students acquire the skills to create multimedia presentations and professional documents, such as resumes. In high school, students acquire advanced technological skills and graduate knowing how to construct spreadsheets to analyze data, use the Internet for academic research and create a portfolio that includes a resume, cover letter and curriculum vitae.

Chalk Talk: Music in the Classroom
While music in the classroom might sound like a horrible idea to some, it actually has value in helping students learn. Playing music while students are learning, even softly in the background, helps keep students engaged and energized. Music can provide this function throughout the school day, but proves to be especially helpful in the classes immediately following lunch, when full tummies and several hours of school make students extra sleepy. Music can also be used as a teaching tool, with many songs available for teaching about math, language arts, science and social studies topics. Additionally, music opens doors for creative expression and appreciation of the arts. As long as there are careful selection of songs and smart decisions about when to utilize music, it can prove to be a valuable asset for enhancing the learning environment.
