Laurel District and Curriculum

The State of Maryland is instituting new standards across all the Maryland school systems called the Common Core State Curriculum Framework. The standard expectations for Math are that all students from Kindergarten on will learn the basic skills and then build on them each year to achieve a high level of proficiency by the end of high school. Students in K-5th grades are expected have an understanding of mathematical operations and algebraic thinking, measurement skills and simple geometry. At the middle school level, students learn about ratios and proportional relationships, rational numbers and fractions, mathematical expressions and equations, basic geometry, and simple statistics and probability.

We currently cover the following Laurel-area school districts: Anne Arundel County Public Schools, Howard County Public Schools and Prince George’s County Public Schools.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Laurel District Curriculum

In English and Language Arts, the basics of the Core Curriculum include the reading of literature and informational texts, writing, speaking, listening and language usage. As with all instructional courses, the basics are taught in the lower grades and the upper grades coursework builds on those fundamentals. At the elementary level, students learn basic Reading skills and phonics, gain an understanding of main ideas, and learn to demonstrate this understanding both verbally and in written form. In writing, students must demonstrate an ability to write an opinion piece and substantiate the point of view with facts and ideas.

Middle school students need to have a good grasp of key ideas while reading, be able to provide examples from the reading to back up those ideas, and know how to analyze the development of a theme in their reading. In writing, middle school students should be able to write an organized argument and be able to support that argument, and know how to write explanatory text. In high school, English and Language Arts students should know how to read and analyze detailed text and make inferences and interpretations of the literature.
