Humane Education

We provide a number of services and resources to the teachers and civic leaders in Monmouth County.

School Programs

Our newly revised Humane Education programs offer various curriculum-blended programs. Each program adheres to the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and is age specific.

Two programs have been created for each of the following levels, with various follow-up and service learning activities included:

  • Primary
  • Elementary
  • Middle School

High School level programs are specifically customized to correspond with each particular teaching unit.

Program Contents

In partnering with your school or group, the Monmouth County SPCA strives to offer “Higher Level Learning” to your students. Many of the programs and projects include problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and creative thinking. Our instructor can provide frequent and immediate feedback to students to improve the quality of their learning.

Other Program Benefits

Other benefits of this program may be non-content goals, such as becoming a good team member by working collaboratively with one another on specific projects, preparing a joint report, learning to tolerate opposing points of view, and becoming proficient in public speaking.

At the MCSPCA we believe that your students have the ability to set standards for future generations. We look forward to helping them learn about the issues affecting animals today and how they can use their voice to make a difference.
