District Goals

Monitor the implementation of the 5 Year Strategic Plan focused on increased rigor, innovation in academic and CTE programming, and alignment with NJSLS Standards and emerging best practices. 

During the 2026-27 school year, CMT will continue to provide opportunities for all staff to improve instructional practices by providing monthly professional development workshops as well as “flip” monthly staff meetings to create additional professional development opportunities. 

Incorporate more hands-on learning opportunities including manipulatives and NJSLS standards aligned with routines for reasoning in mathematics and science instruction.   

Strengthen literacy and writing instruction across all grade levels, empowering students to critically evaluate real-world texts and articulate well-supported, evidence-based arguments. 

Decrease district-wide chronic absenteeism by 2% through the expansion of teacher-student mentorship programs and targeted instructional coaching, ensuring all students receive the personalized support needed to engage successfully with daily programming. 

CMT will increase the number of students participating in after school academic, social/emotional supports such as tutoring, School Based Youth Services (SBYS) and extra-curricular activities by 10% over the 2025-26 levels. 

50% (Approx. 75) of CMT Seniors will participate in Work Based Learning via internships, job shadowing, or field experiences.

The district will support ongoing professional learning  to deepen faculty and staff understanding of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications can support their   instruction and student learning.   

Utilize student achievement data including NJSLA, NJGPA, SAT, PSAT, AP, and End-of-Course (EOC) assessments during collaborative data reviews to identify learning gaps and inform instructional adjustments. 

To build teacher capacity in the effective use of instructional technology with an emphasis on the use of digital learning tools such as Real Time, Naviance and Google Apps for Education.   

During the 2026-27 school year, all case managers will meet with 100% of seniors with IEPs to develop a comprehensive transition plan that identifies and supports the achievement of post-graduation plans. 

CMT will implement and monitor the Multi-Tier System of Support (MTSS) for intervention, remediation, acceleration, and enrichment that is available to all students. Teachers will utilize assessment data as well as performance in class to identify students for MTSS support.  The District will collect baseline data regarding student participation in the MTSS and its impact on individual student performance. 

Continue to provide ongoing professional development with regard to digital tools, communication devices to families, staff, and students during the 2026-27 school year.

To adopt, implement and utilize an alert system for emergencies capable with both district devices and staff member’s personal devices.
