Curriculum Improvement Ongoing at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School.
Profiles, Programs and Products, n36 Nov 1983
West Windsor-Plainsboro High School (New Jersey) offers a tightly structured, diversified curriculum in a nontraditional open setting. The school curriculum focuses on teaching basic skills in reading, writing, science, math, and social studies; using a variety of instructional techniques; maintaining high faculty/administration commitment to curriculum improvement; and offering an extensive guidance program. Firm support from a young, professional community strengthens the program. The school's current objectives for curriculum improvement are to strengthen reading and writing skills and to establish schoolwide computer literacy by 1985. Action plans have been established for each objective. As part of ongoing curriculum improvement efforts, administrative teams identify areas of concern, then work with the principals and subject area teachers to accomplish established goals. A six-member guidance team assists students in meeting school graduation requirements. The guidance department features a strong career planning program. Varied teaching strategies in academic subjects include team taught courses, laboratory approach, and a variety of skill level courses from remedial to gifted. (LP)
