Maumelle District and Curriculum
The Pulaski County Special School District is comprised of several schools, but there are three—one elementary, one middle, and one high school—that serves residents of Maumelle. Pine Forest Elementary School includes grades K-5 and has more than 500 students. On the most recent state assessment, the percentage of third and fourth grade students achieving proficiency in math and literacy was well above the district and state averages. Maumelle Middle School has almost 800 students. Maumelle High School serves 1,050 students and has a detailed action plan that promotes cultural diversity and dedicates each month of the school year to a specific culture.
We currently cover the following Maumelle-area school district: Pulaski County Special School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Maumelle District Curriculum
The Pulaski County Special School District builds its curriculum around the Common Core Standards. The website explains how the standards help connect student learning to real-world scenarios, prepare students for college and their careers, and outline clear expectations for achievement. The standards are also clear enough for parents to understand and reassure them that their children are receiving as quality of an education as those all over the country. Finally, they are beneficial for educators because they now receive more professional development and can collaborate with one another more frequently
By the 2014-15 school year, students in grades 3-11 will take the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) instead of the current state assessment that is being used. This computer-based assessment matches the more rigorous Common Core Standards, requiring students to use problem-solving strategies and higher-order thinking skills, as opposed to simply memorizing facts.

Keeping Informed: Recent Maumelle Educational News
- A Generous Gift - The mother of a Maumelle Middle School student recently donated 10 new iPads for the class to use. The child had an iPad at home and suggested to her mother that her classmates receive the devices as well. The iPads are implemented for both math and literacy. The parent has also established an organization to help students with special needs.
- There’s an App for That! - Two eighth grade students at Maumelle Middle School completed a project that combined modern day technology and classic art. It took about a month for them to create QR codes that visitors of the Arkansas Museum of Art can scan with their smartphones in order to instantly learn more about the works and artists. The girls pitched the project to the museum, which embraced it and now provides visitors with brochures that include the codes. It turns out that the girls had full creative control over the project.
- A Lesson on Courage and Character - Each month of the school year, Maumelle High School focuses on a “character word,” with students not only learning the meaning of the word but making it personal to them by acting out on it. A different school organization or club sponsors each word and comes up with an implementation plan that includes three prongs: daily quotes pertaining to the word, a 30-minute small- or whole-group lesson or assembly, and community service participation. One month, the students were really inspired by their word, “courage,” when listening to a breast cancer survivor talk about her battle.

Chalk Talk: The Writer's Workshop
Because of the importance placed on state standardized assessments, students are receiving more literacy instruction than ever before. They are being taught various vocabulary words, how to find the main idea of a story, sequencing of stories, grammar, and much more. However, in many classrooms, there is one glaring omission from this list: writing. Students are simply not writing very often. The first reason for this is time--teachers have so much material to cover on a given day that writing can be difficult to fit in. It can be difficult to fit writing into the busy school day, but one way in which to do so is by implementing a writer’s workshop. Students really gravitate towards this type of set-up because they can write about whatever they would like to. Teachers can include their grammar instruction in the writer’s workshop through mini-lessons at the beginning of each workshop and by teaching students through their own writing during revision conferences. The writer’s workshop provides a way for both students and teachers to be excited about writing, while allowing for additional aspects of literacy instruction to be mixed in.
