Academics

The Hanover Public Schools has curriculum in the core content areas that reflect the Common Core Standards for ELA and Mathematics as published by DESE in 2012. The Common Core articulates a vision of teaching and learning in each discipline, as well as content learning standards that outline the specifics of what Massachusetts’ students are expected to know and be able to do at each grade level (K-12).  Core materials and resources are carefully selected to complement curriculum implementation and assessment.  Professional development includes a variety of activities including the important component of in-service time, which provides for professional growth of the staff in curriculum planning, implementation, assessment, and instructional improvement.
