Climate Change Standards
Climate Change Standards
The climate change standards rolled out by the NJDOE - have been integrated into the content areas. At Millburn the standards have been addressed in the sciences and in relevant content areas including cycle and elective classes - as we continue to revise and update curriculums these standards will be included in student learning to ensure that all students possess the 21st century skills necessary to thrive in our ever changing global society.
On June 3, 2020, the State Board of Education adopted the 2020 NJSLS in the following content areas:
Career Readiness, Life Literacies, and Key Skills;
Comprehensive Health and Physical Education;
Computer Science & Design Thinking;
Science;
Social Studies;
Visual and Performing Arts;
and World Languages.
These standards truly represent a foundation from which the district will build coherent curriculum and instruction that prepares each student with the knowledge and skills to succeed in our rapidly changing world. They will put New Jersey again at the forefront of national education by including the following:
Climate Change across all content areas, leveraging the passion students have shown for this critical issue and providing them opportunities to develop a deep understanding of the science behind the changes and to explore the solutions our world desperately needs; Computer programming in all grade bands K-12, ensuring all students receive a 22nd century education in the critical computational thinking skills that are the underpinning of so much of our work and so many of our transactions; and National standards for science and visual and performing arts, ensuring access to, and opportunity in, science and the arts, for every New Jersey public student.

The website is designed to foster an interdisciplinary approach to climate change education that is evidence-based, action-oriented and inclusive.
