Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Upper Saddle River District Curriculum
The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards place a heavy emphasis on the development of strong literacy and mathematical fluency during the elementary years so that students are prepared to tackle more advanced and complex work during middle and high school. The Language Arts curriculum is introducing more non-fiction so that students become adept at reading for information and evaluating the bias and effectiveness of the texts they read. They also learn how to locate high quality resources.
It has also been a high priority of the district for there to be a clear articulation of the curriculum so that the students from the three districts that ultimately send their students to Northern Highlands Regional High are all on the same page in their academic development. The district seeks to engage students in active, meaningful learning that is hands-on and requires them to think about and reflect upon their learning. This is evident through programs such as inquiry-based science and problem-based mathematics,

The students became instantly inspired and let their imaginations run wild as they quickly wrote their own fractured fairy tales.

The program helps instill in young people a “lifelong commitment to bringing justice into the world” by helping others before they celebrate their Bat/Bar Mitzvahs.

Chalk Talk: The Changing Standards
In the past few years, there have been significant changes in the academic standards that are incorporated in schools in the U.S. Standards describe exactly the content and skills students are expected to understand and acquire in each content area level by the end of each grade level. Up until the last few years, each state has is own set of academic standards that were applied in the classroom. However, it was determined that not enough students were demonstrating the readiness that was necessary when they moved on to college and their careers, so the Common Core Standards were born. This is a national set of standards that is more rigorous, as it requires more critical thinking, writing, and exploratory learning.
