Course Descriptions

Technology: The Dover Public School District recognizes the use of technology as an integral component of every student’s education. As the district acknowledges the importance of providing the student with experiences that model “real life” use of technology in society and the workplace, student use of technology on a regular basis in all disciplines and at all grade levels is encouraged and supported. Technology skills are not taught in isolation, but rather infused into the curriculum providing students with activities and authentic interdisciplinary projects that address the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) in Technology, and College and Career Readiness, Literacy, and other disciplines. Student achievement and growth are measured through performance-based assessment. In addition to increasing higher-order thinking skills and creativity, these technology-infused projects provide students with the opportunity to work collaboratively. The ethical use of technology and online safety is promoted in numerous ways and is constantly modeled by the classroom teacher. Every student has a Gmail account, an individual login and home directory that provides individual storage space. Throughout the 2026-2027 school year, each actively enrolled student is issued a laptop or iPad and charging cord, courtesy of Dover Public Schools for the express purpose of completing school work. Students are responsible for maintaining these items and returning them in the same condition in which they were received. 

Students are expected to bring their charged laptop/iPad and charging cord to class every day.
