Curriculum
Process:
The curriculum of the Vineland Public Schools is reviewed and
revised on a regular basis within a 5-year Quality Assurance
Cycle. During this cycle, committees made up of teachers,
administrators, parents and community representatives study each
curriculum area, review the research and most successful
programs nationwide, and recommend changes to assure that the
curriculum meets the needs of students and society. The cycle
includes five stages: review,
development,
pilot,
implementation,
evaluation.
Alternative
School:
This innovative program, designed to meet the needs of
disaffected students, is now located in its own facility, off
the high school campus. The program accommodates approximately
100 students. |
