Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Orland Park District Curriculum

The Humanities Curriculum focuses on a comprehensive understanding of key concepts, which includes reading and comprehending complex texts and writing analytical essays. The focus is more on nonfiction texts than novels or poetry, again, with an emphasis on mastering basic concepts such as grammar rules and comprehension, early on, and progressing to focus on encouraging the development of students’ abilities to gather and understand information from reading and use evidence to back their claims while writing, in high school, as well as expanding their vocabularies.

The Mathematics Curriculum follows the Common Core Standards. The focus is on covering topics in depth. At the elementary school level, the curriculum emphasizes basic concepts such as numbers and operations to make sure students master the foundations of mathematics before progressing onto more advanced concepts in middle and high school.

Chalk Talk: AP Exams: The Facts

Advanced Placement (AP) exams can be really helpful for some students, but the idea that a student can skip ahead and graduate college early isn’t always what happens. The expectation is that AP exams take the place of basic level classes, meaning that the student can then graduate sooner, and this is often the case, especially with state schools. But more and more often, colleges want students to master the college’s own curriculum, especially if the AP was in the student’s major. So a nursing student might be expected to take the college’s basic Chemistry class, for example, even if s/he took and passed an AP on the subject because the college wants to make sure the student has truly mastered the necessary material in Chemistry. That might also mean that instead of just getting credit for the class, the student is bumped up into a higher level class. High scores on APs still look great to colleges, though. Just remember that the point of the college curriculum is to master the material, not just to graduate.
