Mount Rainier District and Curriculum

The Mount Rainier, Maryland schools are in the process of moving to the Common Common Core Curriculum Framework which is now the the state curriculum for Maryland. The new Common Core Curriculum is a rigorous academic curriculum which is based on evidence based research and standards focused on providing students with the background they need to pursue both advanced education and entrance into the workforce.

The Common Core Curriculum is based on a progressive learning experience by learning the fundamentals of coursework in the early years and then building on that knowledge through the rest of the school years. From Pre-Kindergarten through High School, students in Language Arts and Reading, start with learning the fundamentals of Reading and Phonics and move on to reading more challenging literature and the demonstration of Reading Comprehension. Students are taught to be able to apply the learning they have acquired as they take on more advanced Reading and Writing coursework. The focus of the curriculum is on developing the ability to write opinion pieces, creative writing abilities, and report writing. There is also an emphasis on being able to provide oral reports and discussions of the reading and writing material.

We currently cover the following Mount Rainier-area school district: Prince George’s County Public Schools.
