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, Single Approach to Mastery (SAM), SGI Classroom, PASE classroom, the Early Raider Childcare program, the Sussex County Boys and Girls Club, WECEC Book Bling Program, Weekly Announcements with an Idiom and Words of the Week for each grade level, WECEC After-school club program, English as a second language (EL) classes featuring both pull-out and push-in services, 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. We utilize Class Dojo school-wide to reinforce positive behaviors as well as to communicate with parents in real time. Over-compassing all of this is our approach to developing student emotional development through our Zones of Regulation and our use of Restorative Practices to minimize behaviors and handle discipline.
Bookworms K-5 Reading and Writing Curriculum:
The Bookworms curriculum provides evidence-based teaching that is designed for differentiation, providing teachers with a straightforward differentiation toolkit. The curriculum was created around full texts on multiple topics and built to increase vocabulary acquisition.
Bookworms consists of three 45-minute segments:
1. English Language Arts
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.
