Welcome to Pathways!
Program Overview
The Cranford Public School District strives to maximize student achievement through the development of a rigorous standards-aligned curricula. Additionally, teachers are trained to provide a differentiated instructional program to meet the needs of individual students. The district also acknowledges the need to provide specialized services for students that are exceptionally able. The Pathways to Excellence (P2E) Program provides a continuum of services across the district to address the learning needs of gifted and talented students. Please reference the P2E services page for additional information.
The first opportunity for identification is in grade 2, but while our identification process is thorough and has multiple criteria, we believe the process of finding students that would benefit from P2E should be ongoing. To this end, in grades 3 through 7 the identification process is initiated by teacher and/or parent nominations.
Get ready to THINK BIG!
Get ready to THINK BIG!
This year, we’re diving into the exciting world of design: where creativity meets problem-solving and imagination turns into innovation!
Think about it: every invention, every building, every app, every piece of clothing, every game you play started with a design. Designers and engineers are the dreamers and doers who shape the world around us.
In Design Discovery, YOU become the engineers of your own innovations.
You’ll brainstorm bold ideas.
You’ll sketch, plan, and build.
You’ll test, revise, and make your creations even stronger.
Most importantly, you’ll discover the power of your own imagination.
Design is about more than making something look good: it’s about solving problems, thinking differently, and creating something that has never existed before. Your ideas have the power to change how people live, learn, and connect.
This is your chance to explore, experiment, and innovate.
Get ready to step into the role of inventor, creator, and designer of the future.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
