Ridgefield District and Curriculum
Ridgefield Public Schools have begun implementing the Common Core Standards of curriculum that have already been adopted in most other states. All Ridgefield schools seek to align their curriculum to meet the standards that are designed to improve the standards of literacy, math, and science for all American students so that they make compete in the global economy.
We currently cover the following Ridgefield-area school district: Ridgefield Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Ridgefield District Curriculum
The Common Core Standards not only increase the rigor of content and but their main focus is to provide consistent and clear expectations across all grades, in all states. In Math, for example, basic concepts are delved deeper so that students can bridge the gap in understanding. This creates students who are life time learners and can excel at math and science and teaches them to think like a mathematician and not just as a passive student.
In English and Language Arts, children begin in kindergarten learning the skills to be able to read at an early age. The best teaching practices are incorporated in order to achieve this. Students are not simply taught how to read either, they are taught how to understand what they read. Speaking and writing skills are also built so that students can not only read at an advanced level but can critically analyze what they have read. These communication skills are important for success at the college level as well as in the future workforce.

Chalk Talk: Redshirting Your Kindergartener?
It’s a dilemma facing a lot of parents over the past decade of when exactly to start your child in kindergarten. In the past, kindergarten was little more than pre-school. Now however, it is a legitimate academic year in which some parents feel that their little one is not quite ready for. More boys than girls are being delayed a year before beginning typically because they were born late in the year and the parent fears the trauma of being the very youngest of their peers. So should you delay? It’s not an easy question to answer and many experts are still not convinced either way yet. If you child has developmental delays, it might be a good idea to give them an additional year of pre-school before sending them off, otherwise it is perfectly possible that your summer baby will flourish in kindergarten with the other five-year olds.
