Rutherford Public Schools Curricula – English Language Arts
Please click the course below for the full curriculum guide. For more information, please contact Mr. Brian Ersalesi, K-12 Supervisor of English and Arts.
All English Language Arts courses in the Rutherford Public Schools are aligned with the 2023 New Jersey Student Learning Standards.
The New Jersey Student Learning Standards define general, cross-disciplinary literacy expectations that must be met for students to be prepared to enter college and workforce training programs ready to succeed. The K–12 grade-specific standards define end-of-year expectations and a cumulative progression designed to enable students to meet college and career readiness expectations no later than the end of high school. Students advancing through the grades are expected to meet each year’s grade-specific standards, retain or further develop skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily toward meeting the more general expectations described by the standards.
