are in place for grades 3–5 across the district. In mathematics, Hoboken takes a similarly engaging approach by offering hands-on, discovery-based learning experiences. This allows students to build a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts through exploration and inquiry. In addition to curriculum development and teacher training, the district invests heavily in professional development and ensures educators have access to the necessary materials and resources. “We have found that there’s a lot of thought that goes into new applications and new modalities at the classroom level, but if there are not the resources and the professional development to support that, then it doesn’t have the impact,” adds Rodriguez-Gomez. “Right now, we’re in a really interesting place where many partner districts are coming to Hoboken to just watch the magic happen in these classrooms.” THE HOBOKEN PUBLIC EDUCATION FOUNDATION The Hoboken Public Education Foundation (HPEF), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, plays a vital role in supporting the district’s continued success.
