District Goals
Curriculum, Instructional Program, and Assessment
- Monitor the implementation of the 5 Year Strategic Plan focused on increased rigor, innovation in academic and CTE programming, and alignment with NJSLS Standards and emerging best practices.
- During the 2025-26 school year, CMT will continue to provide opportunities for all staff to improve instructional practices by providing monthly professional development workshops as well as “flip” monthly staff meetings to create additional professional development opportunities.
- CMT will increase the number of students participating in after school academic, social/emotional supports such as tutoring, School Based Youth Services (SBYS) and extra-curricular activities by 10% over 2024-25 levels.
- 50% (Approx. 75) of CMT Seniors will participate in Work Based Learning via internships, job shadowing, field experiences, or Work-based Wednesdays.
Professional Development
- The district will support ongoing professional learning to deepen faculty and staff understanding of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications can support their instruction and student learning.
