Curriculum
The Rumson School District ignites the potential of its learners by growing, inspiring and cultivating personal excellence academically, socially and emotionally. Deane-Porter and Forresdale are innovative schools where students, staff, and teachers are encouraged to take risks, be curious, and be creative.
Aligned to the most up to date New Jersey Student Learning Standards, our curriculum is regularly reviewed to ensure that students are meeting the highest academic standards and are gaining the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. In addition to development in all core content areas, students' proficiency is further developed with critical thinking, problem solving, research, technology, collaboration, cultural literacy, leadership, and wellness.

Curricular Units
When designing units of study for each grade level and subject area:
-
The appropriate state standards are identified and analyzed to determine what students should know and be able to do at each grade level and in each unit of study.
-
Assessments, including both tests and projects, are designed to assess those learning goals.
-
Activities are gathered or developed to help students practice the necessary knowledge, skills and strategies.
-
Data, both in grade and anecdotal form, is collected during instruction to determine how well students are meeting the goals so adjustments can be made in the instructional plan to help students successfully meet the goals of the units as evaluated in the assessments
-
Relevant 21st Century skills and technology applications are integrated into the units of study to help students gain skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and technology.
-
Interdisciplinary connections are made between units to model the integration of knowledge and skills in the real world
