Albemarle District and Curriculum

Stanly County Schools serve over 8,700 students in 21 total schools: 11 elementary schools, four middle schools, and six high schools. Stanly County Schools use the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, which combines the nationwide Common Core Standards for literacy and math and the North Carolina Essential Standards for all of the other curricular areas. The learning experiences are designed to help students develop into competent individuals who show care for others and contribute positively to the community in which they live. Students acquire all the knowledge and skills they need to be academically, socially and emotionally successful adults.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Albemarle District Curriculum

Stanly County Schools strive for instructional innovation to help bring the curriculum to life for students growing up in the globalized era. The district’s curriculum-related goals are providing students with a solid foundation of literacy and math skills, differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all students, and providing support for students to prepare them for college and a career in a 21st century workplace. There is also a strong emphasis on critical thinking and conceptual awareness so students are able to understand each subject.

The professional development areas that have been focused on for elementary teachers include guided reading and math, reading and math foundations, writer’s workshop, the analysis of student data, differentiated instruction, rigor in the classroom, STEM kits, FLEX (a digital reading intervention tool), and teaching with digital resources. Google Chromebooks have been implemented in grades three and up. The curriculum allows teachers to integrate their subject areas and provide students with real-world applications for what they are learning about.

Chalk Talk: High School to College: How Grading Is Different

Most incoming college students recognize that the work will be more difficult and that there will be a much greater workload in college, but they may not think as much about how the grading may be different. However, this is important because students who make it to college typically care greatly about the grades they earn and how they receive them. The first factor is that the grading scales may be more rigorous in colleges. For example, a 90 percent in high school may be an ‘A,’ while in college, the same percentage may qualify as a B+. If a student received all percentages in the 90s in all of his/her classes in high school and got a 4.0 GPA, he/she may get a lesser GPA if he/she earned the same grades in college. Also, students who take honors or A.P. classes in high school may be used to receiving higher GPAs due to classes being weighted for difficulty level, so, for example, they may receive a 4.25 GPA for an A.P. class. In college, however, the base GPA is 4.0 and cannot exceed that.
