The schools of the Archdiocese of Newark begun a curriculum mapping project which will result in the development of subject area curriculum maps that clearly articulate the content and skills students will be learning in each subject in each grade level. The Trinity Academy faculty fully participate in this process attending development work-shops, serving as facilitators and adding valued in-put and unique perspectives as experienced educators.
Relevant educational standards including those proposed by content area experts, the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards, and the Common Core State Standards are used as a resource in the curriculum mapping process.The resulting curriculum maps will help ensure the academic excellence that is integral to the mission of our Catholic schools and will provide parents with a clear understanding of the curriculum.
