The Bethel Public Schools is committed to the development and implementation of high-quality curricula for every discipline. We engage in ongoing curriculum review to ensure that the instruction that is delivered in our classrooms is grounded in the most current research-based practices and aligned to standards. The curriculum is dynamic and responsive in that we continuously seek teacher and student feedback and reflection, analyze student data, and keep current with research in order to make curricular revisions. 


The curriculum maps or pacing guides outline what students will learn. The curriculum, which is written by our teachers, focuses on providing opportunities for students to grow in content understanding as well as engage students in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and innovation.  If you would like informaton about how we support the emotional well-being of students in our district, please click HERE
