District Goals


  1. Curriculum, Instructional Program, and Assessment

    • 100% of eligible students in grade 9-12 will participate in Community Based Instruction (CBI) or a Structured Learning Experience (SLE), to support independent learning, prevocational training, and job readiness, with provided individualized transition plans making connections to post-secondary supports, such as the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) and Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services (DVRS).  

    • Through the NJDOE Maximizing Post-School Outcomes for Students with Disabilities Grant, the district will provide Work Based Learning (WBL), Community Based Instruction (CBI) Programs for 20 identified students between the ages of 18 and 21 with emphasis on job training that is local to their residence, focused on sustainability of the program long-term. 

    • Review and revise Autism, Emotional Regulation Impairment (ERI), and Community Based Instruction (CBI) program handbooks in coordination with the Autism Program Quality Indicators (APQIs), Emotional and Behavior Program Quality Indicators (EBPQIs), and 18-21 Program Quality Indicators (18-21QIs) as provided by the NJDOE.
