THE NEWARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT

MISSION STATEMENT

The Newark Public Schools District’s mission is to develop a productive citizen who is distinguished in all aspects of academic endeavors and willing to challenge the status quo in our society.  We are committed to ensuring that our policies and practices will prepare our students for a world that is increasingly diverse and knowledge driven. We expect our schools and classroom environments to be emotionally safe and intellectually challenging. We pledge to partner with parents, groups, and organizations that add support to the mission by changing hearts and minds to value education.

State District Superintendent

GOALS AND PRIORITIES

Great Expectations: 2009-13 Strategic Plan

OUR SHARED GOAL: PREPARING ALL STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, WORK, AND CITIZENSHIP

Our youth need to be able to compete in an increasingly complex, competitive, and diverse world. Many of the best new jobs require not just a high school diploma but at least two years of college. We need to raise the bar, and we are. Our goals for 2013 are very challenging. Students need to be:

• Ready to learn by kindergarten. 80 percent of our students will be ready to learn by kindergarten, up from 64 percent

in 2008–09.

• Reading and writing at grade level by the end of 3rd grade. 80 percent will be reading and writing by the end of

3rd grade, up from 40 percent in 2008–09.

• Ready for the middle grades. 80 percent of 5th graders will be proficient or above in language arts literacy and

85 proficient or above in math, up from 40 percent and 59 percent, respectively, in 2008–09.

• Ready for high school. 80 percent will be “on track for graduation,” up from 38 percent of freshmen who are on track

to begin the 2009–10 school year.

• Ready for college or work. 80 percent will graduate, and 80 percent of graduates will enroll in college, up from 54 percent and 38 percent, respectively, in 2008–09.

GOALS AND PRIORITIES

Great Expectations: 2009-13 Strategic Plan

PRIORTIES

PRIORITY 1. Ensure highly effective teachers and principals deliver strong curriculum, instruction, and assessment

• Strengthen and align curriculum with rigorous standards, ensuring that it is engaging, challenging, and consistently implemented.

• Create a highly effective professional development system for teachers and administrators that is more focused on delivering quality instruction and aligned to the learning needs of each student.

• Ensure there is a highly effective teacher in every classroom and a highly effective principal in every school by strengthening the preparation, recruitment, induction, evaluation, recognition, and compensation of effective teachers and principals.

PRIORITY 2. Build a system of great schools that serve students, their families, and the community

• Build an aligned, supportive Pre-K–grade 3 pipeline that ensures students are ready for kindergarten, reading by grade 3, and prepared to move forward.

• Transform the middle grades experience to ensure students are prepared for high school — academically, socially, and emotionally.

• Dramatically transform our high schools, building a system of themed, college and

career-oriented schools that ensure all students graduate prepared for college, work, and citizenship.

• Implement an aggressive strategy for turning around low-performing schools that includes reconstitution, external partnerships, full-service “community schools,” and other effective strategies.

PRIORITY 3. Ensure that schools are safe, welcoming, and working collaboratively with parents, families, and community partners to support student success

• Ensure that all students, parents, families, and community members are respected and all schools are safe and “family-friendly.”

• Actively work to help parents and families become more informed and involved.

• Expand and strengthen quality partnerships, including the “full-service community school” model to provide services,

PRIORITY 4. Improve our educational practice by creating an accountability system that promotes data-informed, effective, and efficient management and operations

• Reorganize central and regional offices, and streamline operations to strengthen support to schools and students.

• Create a culture of accountability that uses data to inform decision-making at every level in support of the district’s strategic priorities.

• Increase the transparency of how we make decisions and report on outcomes of our work together.

Mathematics – Grade 7

Course Philosophy

By the end of eighth grade, each student will use his/her mathematics background to recognize their individual ability to grow into a successful and healthy adult.

Each student will think, write, read and speak the language of mathematics inside and outside of the classroom. These learned skills will be demonstrated by the student’s ability to problem solve with reason, insight, inventiveness and technical proficiency.

To develop versatile mathematics skills, each student will use prior knowledge to become an investigative, independent learner. The teacher will be the acting facilitator to guide, enhance and differentiate instruction. In addition, the teacher will ensure each student strengthens his/her mathematic skills and abilities.

Ultimately, each student will take his/her knowledge outside of the classroom walls to apply problem solving skills to solve real world situations and develop a successful future.

Newark Public Schools

Mathematics – Grade 7

Course Description

Grade 7 Curriculum focuses on four important areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples. The course is designed to help students and teachers to develop mathematical knowledge, understanding, and skill along with an awareness of and appreciation for the rich connections among mathematical strands and between mathematics and other disciplines. It also reflects the information-processing capabilities of calculators and computers and the fundamental changes such tools are making in the way people learn mathematics and apply their knowledge of problem-solving tasks. Mathematical vocabulary will be strengthened and extended and opportunities will be given to apply these concepts in solving real, mathematical problems.
