Burlington District and Curriculum
The Alamance-Burlington curriculum encompasses both the new Common Core State Standards and the North Carolina Essential standards. The North Carolina State Standards of Learning emphasizes the importance of building a strong foundation as the integral step when providing children with a good basis to learning mathematics skills. Standard level English courses provide objectives for the skills involved with reading, writing and other modes of communication.
We currently cover the following Burlington-area school district: Alamance-Burlington School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Burlington District Curriculum
The standards in Language Arts are designed to support a standard of literacy across the curriculum. Students begin with phonics, word recognition, vocabulary building skills and many writing exercises. In middle school, students deepen their abilities in these areas so that by high school, the focus shifts to reading and analyzing literature, writing, critical thinking, and vocabulary development.
The framework for math scaffolds students experience through learning about numbers, measurements, patterns, reading graphs and charts, and developing their overall mathematic literacy. This provides the foundation for the more advanced work in high school level algebra, geometry, statistics or calculus. Being able to communicate mathematic understanding and reasoning is also a central goal of the curriculum. As students develop mastery in all these areas, they are also expected to look at a problem and determine the best way to solve it.
