    Hopewell Valley Central High School chemistry teacher Nicholas Johnson and Timberlane Middle School math teacher Jessica Nucera workover the summer on revising and rewriting curriculum for their respective subjects.

    School district staff reworks curriculumBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    Close to 40 teachers throughoutthe Hopewell Valley RegionalSchool District have spent a goodportion of their summers revis-ing and rewriting the curriculumthey will be teaching studentsthis school year.

    HVRSD policy mandates thatcurriculum in every subject be re-vised periodically, as well as thenew state and national standards

    Common Core Standards which also require modifications.

    The CCS were developed by theCouncil of Chief State Officersand the National Governors As-sociation as a national initiativefocusing on curricula in English,language arts and mathematics,according to corestandards.org.

    According to the website, theCCS provide a consistent, clearunderstanding of what studentsare expected to learn, so teachersand parents know what they needto do to help them. They also helpdevelop the knowledge and skills

    that students need for success intheir college years and careers.

    The CCS will be the foundationfor the new Partnership for As-sessment of Readiness for Collegeand Careers tests, which arescheduled in 2014 and will replacethe NJASK tests that studentsnow take.

    Many teachers rewrotecurriculum over summer

    teacher at Hopewell Valley Cen-tral High School, and JessicaNucera, math teacher at Timber-lane Middle School, were amongthe many teachers in HopewellValley who rewrote curriculumover the summer.

    Curriculum is supposed to bere-written every so often at thehigh school, Johnson said. I

    enjoy writing curriculum, so Iasked if I could do the re-write.

    Nucera said curriculum writ-ing occurs every year in differentgrades and subjects depending oneach areas needs.

    In sixth grade, we were hop-ing to better align our curriculumto the Common Core Standards,she said. We will also be usingnew textbooks in sixth grade, and

    needed to make sure that wewould meet the standards whileusing each text to support us.

    Over the summer, Johnson fo-cused on reworking the AP Chem-istry curriculum, which he hastaught at CHS for three years,while Nucera focused on rewrit-ing curriculum for Math 6 andthe new Honors Pre-Algebracourse.

    Advanced Placement coursesare coordinated by an organiza-tion called the College Board,and, every so often, the College

    Board evaluates a course andmakes some changes to keepthings up to date with what ishappening in higher education,Johnson said. AP Biology under-went this change last year, andAP Chemistry will undergo thischange this coming year.

    Twelve years have passed since

    the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on

    New York City and Washing-

    ton, D.C.

    Thats hard to believe.

    Its hard to believe that it was 12

    years ago that this country changed

    forever.Its hard to believe that it was 12

    years ago that so many innocent lives

    were lost.

    Its hard to believe how much our

    lives have changed in those 12 years

    how heightened security at public

    places, especially airports, is expected

    and openly accepted; how a persons

    privacy is not always private; howfarewell and welcome home celebra-

    tions for servicemen and women seem

    to be commonplace.

    There are so many other examples

    to mention of how our lives have

    changed since that fateful day 12 yearsago.

    Here we are, more than a decade

    later, with 9/11 as a memory for all of

    us who lived it, and a history lesson

    for those who didnt.

    Twelve years later, we should all be

    proud of the way we are remembering

    and honoring those who lost their

    lives that day as well as their families,and also the servicemen and women

    and their families who so bravely

    have volunteered to serve this country.

    In addition to annual memorials put

    on at the national level, local commu-

    nities are playing a large part, too. Our

    community, and others around us, are

    setting up 9/11 memorials, obtaining

    steel from the World Trade Center to

    display and hosting 9/11 remem-

    brances.

    We should all be proud of ourselves

    and our fellow citizens. But we shouldnot stop here just because we have

    done well so far.

    We should never forget what hap-

    pened 12 years ago. We should always

    respectfully pause and respect those

    who were taken from us and those

    who fight for our freedom.

    And we should ensure that those

    who werent alive 12 years ago, or weretoo young to remember, are taught

    about what happened that day, and

    how it will continue to affect our lives

    and theirs.

    We will never forget.

    We will never forgetTwelve years later, we continue to remember those lives lost on 9/11

    Bear Tavern Road referendum to be on ballotBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

    Residents can expect to see a referen-dum about the Bear Tavern Road debateon the ballot for the Nov. 5 general elec-tion.

    After much discussion, the TownshipCommittee has decided to let the commu-nity decide whether the township shouldtake ownership of a portion of Bear Tav-ern Road (Route 579) for the purpose oflowering the speed limit in front of BearTavern Elementary School.

    The decision was made at the Commit-tees Aug. 26 meeting by a 3-1 vote. Com-mitteeman Michael Markulec dissented,with Mayor Vanessa Sandom, DeputyMayor Allen Cannon and CommitteemanHarvey Lester in favor.

    Committeeman James Burd was absent.The question on the Nov. 5 ballot willread, Shall the Township of Hopewelltake over ownership, including mainte-nance, of a one and one-half mile sectionof Bear Tavern Road (County Route 579)between Jacobs Creek Road and Washing-ton Crossing Road (County Route 546),which is currently owned and maintainedby the County of Mercer, for the purposeof lowering the speed limit from 30 mph to25 mph, within the one-quarter mileschool zone in front of Bear Tavern Ele-mentary School during the approximately

    180 day school year for 12 hours on schooldays for an estimated average yearly costfor the first 15 years of $67,000 per year?

    The following interpretive statementwill be listed along with the question onthe ballot:

    For 50 years, the speed limit on BearTavern Road (County Route 579) in front ofBear Tavern Elementary School was 50mph. In 2012, at the request of HopewellTownship, the County of Mercer loweredthe speed limit between Jacobs CreekRoad and Washington Crossing Road(County Route 546) to 45 mph and, for theone-quarter mile in front of Bear TavernElementary School, to 30 mph.

    In 2013, Mercer County declined thetownships request to lower the speed limitin the school zone to 25 mph, but proposedthe following: 1) the county would recon-

    sider lowering the speed limit in theschool zone after one year following the Ja-cobs Creek Bridge being re-opened to traf-fic, which is anticipated to occur in 2014; 2)

    County wont lower speed limit

    the county would upgrade thecurrent school zone warningflashers with driver feedbacksigns; 3) the county would enablelocal officials to operate these de-vices to better coincide with theschool schedule.

    If Hopewell Township takesover ownership of the roadway,Mercer County would no longerbe responsible for any furthercosts associated with the road-

    way, including replacement ofthe road surface every 15 yearsand maintenance, such as roadrepair, signs and winter saltingand plowing. Either way, MercerCounty would retain ownershipof Jacobs Creek Bridge and theintersection of WashingtonCrossing Road (County Route546).

    A yes vote would tell the

    township to take over the road-way, and a no vote would tellthe township to not take over theroadway.

    Several months ago, a group ofresidents urged the township andcounty to consider lowering thespeed limit from 30 mph to 25mph for the 1/4-mile stretch onRoute 579 in front of Bear TavernElementary School.

    In an attempt to do so,Hopewell approached the county,which said it was interested inhelping it lower the speed limit,but then ultimately declined therequest.

    In July, resident Kim Robin-son, who spearheaded the effortto lower the speed limit, urgedthe Committee to purchase a por-tion of the road or ask the countyif it would be willing to swapownership of Route 579 for anoth-er road the township owns,which would give the townshipcontrol of the speed limit in frontof Bear Tavern Elementary

    School.The county declined the swap-

    ping of any roads, but offered an-other proposition, Lester said atthe Aug. 26 meeting.

    The county wont let us takethe 1/4-mile of Bear Tavern Roadin front of Bear Tavern Elemen-tary, but will require us to takethe mile and a half from JacobsCreek Bridge to the intersectionof Route 546, he said. We wouldhave to take six times the lengthof the roadway that we are fo-cused on.

    Although a majority of theCommittee members were in

    favor of the referendum,Markulec said the townshipshould just take ownership of theroad and nix the referendum.

    In my opinion, we need totake this road; I argue, for $70,000a year, it does serve the publicgood, he said.

    Several residents who spokeafter him argued the same thing,

    that is constantly changing, John-son said it was also a good oppor-tunity to rewrite the school-basedcurriculum.

    The topics include everythingthat one would encounter in anintroductory, general chemistry

    course at a college or university.This includes atomic structure,bonding, stoichiometry, gas be-havior, chemical kinetics, chemi-cal equilibrium, acid-base chem-istry, thermodynamics and elec-trochemistry, he said.

    Nucera worked with anothersixth-grade teacher her col-league, Tammy Pegrem on de-veloping the new curriculum fortwo math courses, with supportfrom their supervisor.

    Weve been consistently work-

    ing on adapting the sixth-gradecurriculum to meet our studentsneeds and the standards adoptedby the state, she said. Over thelast year in particular, the Tim-

    berlane math department spenttime outlining what needed to becovered in each grade and lookedinto textbooks to support thechanging standards.

    Christine Laquidara, Office ofCurriculum and Instruction di-rector, said curriculum revisionis key to keeping up with the newstandards now being put in placeacross the country.

    Curriculum writing is becom-

    ing increasingly complex andmore important with the imple-mentation of the new CommonCore Standards, the PARCC testsand 21st century skills focus, shesaid. Our students cant wait forcurriculum revisions every fiveyears, so we are building aprocess in which curricula is cre-ated and housed electronically forease of sharing as well as on-going revision.

    This year, we also focused onthe transfer of knowledge and

    skills to authentic experiencesand tasks. The idea is that thepurpose of education is not justwhat students learn for an end-of-year course exam, but that theycan use it beyond the classroomand over their lifetime.
