Ridgewood NJ, at Monday nights Ridgewood School Board meeting, Ms. Taylor, Supervisor of Science, presented the 6-12 Science Curriculum and Program Review. After reviewing the timeline and research study process, Ms. Taylor explained the district’s vision and mission, as well as curriculum alignment to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
Enhancements made since the previous five-year study include implementation of Biology Advanced, AP Environmental Science, AP Physics C, Career Pathways in Medicine Program, and AP Capstone program into RAHP. In all of the core classes, the department has been focusing on environmental science and sustainability. Through donations from the Jones family and the Ridgewood Education Foundation, lab facilities and equipment have been upgraded and enhanced with an Anatomage Table, microscopes, a greenhouse, an outdoor classroom, physics lab equipment, and more. As part of the study, data was collected through parent, student, and teacher surveys to gain their perspective on the program. Based on the findings of the study, one recommendation for the 2021-2022 school year is to develop a high school engineering program. Once this program is implemented, options for the expansion of the program will be researched and explored to give students real-world opportunities in engineering.
Does it include curriculum to design super dangerous bike lanes in the Village?
Or how to build ‘white elephant’ garages in an abandoned business district…?
Would love to know who to contact to establish a partnership with our Civil Air Patrol Aerospace/Cyber program like other School Districts in NJ. https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/programs/aerospace-education/for-educators
Will this cut into the WOKE SOCIALIST programs at RHS?
If so then I am fully against it.
