Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment

At East Haven Public Schools, we believe that a high-quality education goes beyond mastering content—it's about developing the skills and attributes that lead to a lifetime of success. Our approach is centered on high-quality, rigorous Tier 1 instruction, the core teaching that every student receives in the general education classroom. This foundational instruction ensures students not only engage with challenging, grade-level content but also cultivate the critical attributes of our Vision of the Graduate.

Through dynamic and purposeful instruction, our dedicated educators help students become:

• Responsible Citizens: Students learn to understand their roles within their community and the wider world.

• Resourceful Problem Solvers: We challenge students to think critically and apply knowledge in creative ways to overcome obstacles.

• Goal Directed & Resilient Individuals: Students are empowered to set personal goals, persevere through challenges, and learn from their experiences.

• Powerful & Effective Communicators: We provide opportunities for students to articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively across different mediums.

• Informed Thinkers: Students are taught to analyze information, form reasoned opinions, and engage in thoughtful inquiry.
