Draft Curriculum Documents
Curriculum Process
Emerson follows a five year cycle during which all curriculum documents are reviewed and updated, with a focus on one or two content areas per year.
In summer 2023, we will be making compliance updates to all documents in preparation for New Jersey Department of Education QSAC monitoring during the 2023-2024 school year. QSAC indicators are available HERE.
The New Jersey Department of Education is proposing revisions to the ELA and Math standards to be adopted in 2023. Details on those revisions are available HERE. We anticipate compliance updates to all ELA and Mathematics documents as well as to the "Interdisciplinary and Core Literacy Connections" area of all documents during the 2023-2024 school year.
