The Mission of
the Rochester School Department is to ensure quality educational
experiences for all learners. An important step to achieving
this mission involves the use of "good educational
practices" based upon a solid curriculum.
When the New
Hampshire Department of Education released Curriculum Frameworks
for the four content areas in 1996, Rochester began the task of
realigning and reviewing its curricula. The standards
outlined in the frameworks define not only what our students need
to know, but also emphasizes the application of these
standards.
The New
Hampshire Curriculum Framework K-12 broad goals for each core
area are listed in this web site with a link to the New
Hampshire State Department of Education. This link
provides a complete listing of all the proficiency standards for
each content area.
The Rochester
School Department is in the process of aligning our district
curriculum guides with the state proficiency standards.
Please review the Five Year Curriculum Implementation Guide for
Rochester School Department's plan of action for curriculum
implementation.
