Lake Bluff District and Curriculum

Both Evanston/Skokie School District and Lake Forest Community High School District follow the expectations set out in the Illinois Learning Standards as its guiding framework for teaching and learning. The curriculum provides a series of learning objectives that scaffold student learning and prepare them to study subjects in greater depth as they progress. There are also curricular guidelines for career and technical electives which described the outcomes expected for students. The high school additionally uses Advanced Placement curriculum guides for college-level courses in core subjects.

We currently cover the following Lake Bluff-area school districts: Evanston/Skokie School District 65 and Lake Forest Community High School District 115.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lake Bluff District Curriculum

Throughout their school years, the focus on core learning is emphasized and students are expected to develop strong problem-solving, communication, and inquiry skills. The elementary curriculum instills fundamental knowledge and skill sets in students, and then allows greater independence during the secondary years so that students can make decisions about the courses they will take that will best prepare them for post-secondary life. The district offers many learning experiences and activities, so that students can find and fulfill their goals.

The hope is that students will feel supported by faculty and parents and be inspired to follow their interests. The school focuses on concepts like learning by doing, applying students’ particular skillsets to improve the community, world, and each other. The school strives to create a place that prepares students for a successful future, but also one that is rich in the here and now. Students participate in a rigorous academic experience that also balances the importance of emotional wellness by incorporating the arts, clubs, activities, and community service.

Chalk Talk: Multiple Intelligences

Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory rests on the premise that people are intelligent in different areas and there is not necessarily just one way to measure this idea of intelligence. People high in verbal/linguistic intelligence may enjoy reading and writing, and often have the ability to explain things well. Logically inclined people thinking more abstractly and conceptually rather than concretely. Mathematically inclined learners like experiments, solving puzzles, working with numbers, and math formulas. Auditory learners are good at oral exams and like to learn through lectures, discussion, and reading aloud. People with musical intelligence love music and are often gifted with musical talents as well. Spiritual and naturalist intelligences were later added to the theory.
