The Office of Instruction and Programs emphasizes the importance of teaching and learning by utilizing the most effective academic and instructional methods. This office focuses on supporting our students, educators, families, and communities with a high-quality curriculum that is aligned with New Jersey State Learning Standards.
All of our curriculum is now housed in the Rubicon Atlas system, which allows our curriculum writers to:
- Collaboratively plan our curriculum using flexible unit planners
- Ensure our lessons are aligned to our curriculum goals
- Integrate assessments
- Improve school-to-home communication with students & parents
We have just completed phase one of our transition. At least 85% of our available curriculum has been uploaded into the system. Our team of curriculum writers are currently in the process of updating additional curricula to be uploaded throughout the school year.
Each course is broken into units. Each unit will include the following:
- A Unit Overview
- The New Jersey Student Learning Standards
- Big Ideas
- Essential Questions
- What students will know?
- Academic Vocabulary

An Atlas Public Site is a website that mirrors the district's internal system in order to make parts of your curriculum accessible to people outside of your school team, either with or without a password. It can contain general curriculum elements from secure Atlas site, and will be automatically updated when teachers make changes to the district curriculum internally. It is a great way to share part of our curriculum with parents, community members, and other stakeholders, while still keeping selected aspects of the Plainfield Public School's curriculum private such as assessments, copy righted curriculum materials, and other secure documents.
