Correlation of Project WET to the NH Curriculum Frameworks

In New Hampshire, the Department of Education has developed curriculum frameworks for science, social studies, mathematics, and English language arts. These frameworks include curriculum standards that refer to specific knowledge, understandings, and skills that every student should know and be able to demonstrate upon graduation from a public high school in New Hampshire. Throughout the state, school districts are revising their current curricula and evaluating the effectiveness of their classroom materials to address the standards.

These handbooks are practical applications of New Hampshire’s past and present curriculum frameworks to a single curriculum program: Project WET (Water Education for Teachers). It allows educators to determine at a glance (1) those state curriculum standards with which each Project WET activity is aligned, and (2) those Project WET activities that are aligned with each state standard. The charts are at-a-glance references, while the handbook provides complete information about all correlation materials. With this information, educators can easily identify appropriate Project WET activities for their lesson plans and address selected state standards more completely.

In 1999, NH Project WET completed a project to correlate the activities found in the Project WET Curriculum and Activity Guide to New Hampshire's Curriculum Frameworks for science, social studies, mathematics, and English language arts.

Since 1999, New Hampshire's curriculum standards for science, English language arts, mathematics, and social studies have undergone substantial change in response to the federal No Child Left Behind Act. NH Project WET completed the correlations for the science and english language arts frameworks in the falls of 2006 and 2007. It is NH Project WET’s hope that the other frameworks will get correlated in the upcoming years.
