Exemplary Programs:
The Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center is a Compassionate School serving the students of Woodbridge from Pre-K Three Year Olds to Second Grade. WECEC students are involved in a variety of activities to challenge their academic and creative skills, build responsibility, and promote teamwork and cooperation. Related arts programs include art, music, physical education, computers, and library. Others school programs include Team Approach to Mastery (TAM) classrooms, SGI/PASE classroom, the Early Raider Childcare program, the Sussex County Boys and Girls Club, WECEC Quarterly After-school club program, English as a second language (ESL) classes, summer school, Foster Grandparents and Volunteer Programs. We also utilize the Positive Behavior Support model to teach our school-wide rules and positively reinforce the use of our CAREing behaviors. Over-compassing all of this is our approach to developing student emotional development through our Zones of Regulation.
Reading Wonders Curriculum:
Reading Wonders is a researched based program designed specifically to the Common Core State Standards for Reading/Language Arts. The program is designed to build a strong reading foundation, help students’ access complex text, use text evidence, engage in collaborative conversations and learn how to write effectively to sources.
Students will have access to both print and digital text at school and home.
With a wide range of diverse digital and print resources, this program provides the instructional support to teach the rigor and depth of the Common Core State standards.
Eureka Math Curriculum:
Eureka Math connects math to the real world in ways that take the fear out of math and build student confidence.
It’s not enough for students to know the process for solving a problem; they need to understand why that process works so they can use it anytime. Teaching mathematics as a story, Eureka Math builds students’ knowledge logically and thoroughly.
State of Delaware Science Curriculum:
Delaware is one of 26 states that helped develop the Next Generation Science Standards in 2013, joining other states in the movement to provide a deeper, more rigorous learning experience for students. The Next Generation Science Standards set expectations for what students should know by the end of every grade level in the four domains of science: physical science; life science; earth and space science; and engineering, technology and science application. In 2010, the National Research Council, in partnership with science educators and experts from around the nation, developed the framework for the Next Generation Science Standards. From there, 26 states, including Delaware, collaboratively developed these higher expectations and goals, which were finalized in April 2013.
State of Delaware Social Studies Curriculum:
Social Studies prepare young people to become informed and active citizens who accept their responsibilities, understand their rights, and participate actively in society and government. Effective citizens must be able to research issues, form reasoned opinions, support their positions, and engage in the political process. Young people are expected to learn a genuine respect for the rights of others, a concern for the common good, and a commitment to such basic democratic principles as equal rights and majority rule. Social Studies provides skills and knowledge necessary for individuals to become competent decision makers, both in their personal lives and when making societal choices accomplished through covering four essential areas: civics, economics, geography and history.
Hand Writing without Tears Writing Curriculum:
Research supports the active teaching of handwriting. Recent findings demonstrate that writing by hand improves creative writing skills and fine motor skills. In fact, elementary students have been found to write more and faster by hand than when keyboarding.
And with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards, the emphasis and expectations placed on classroom note-taking and expository writing in grades K–5 is greater than ever.
The Handwriting Without Tears® curriculum draws from years of innovation and research to provide developmentally appropriate, multisensory tools and strategies for your classroom. The program follows research that demonstrates children learn more effectively by actively doing, with materials that address all styles of learning.
