Stone Mills District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The local school boards follow the Ontario Curriculum which is a model for learning that has been designed in a collaborative process between educators and industry professionals. The curriculum is designed to serve a number of goals such as preparing students for career opportunities, providing a strong base in core academic subjects, and offering students engaging pathways they may pursue during their education. All students are expected to gain proficiency in core academic subjects like English, Math, and Science. These subjects each have proficiency assessments which are aligned to the grade-level expectations in the curriculum.
We currently cover the following Stone Mills-area school districts: Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board and Limestone District School Board.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Stone Mills District Curriculum
The development of broad-based literacy skills is an important goal of the curriculum. Students are expected to become scientifically literate, financially literate, and globally literate during their years in school. They will have opportunities to show what they know on assessments like project and portfolios and in their community service or experiential learning opportunities. The farther along in school, the more opportunities to integrate knowledge and experience are offered to students and require that students have mastered the fundamentals.
The core academic subjects are also responsible for the development of higher-order thinking, which is essential for future career and personal goals. The ability to analyze information, determine the best method for solving a problem, and discern the validity of phenomenon are all areas of thought that students become able to do. This prepares students to be independent thinkers capable of taking on new learning challenges.

Chalk Talk: Reading Anticipation Guides
Reading Anticipation Guides are effective if the analytic questions require students to use some critical thinking and whose answers are not found directly in the text. It may be a good idea to include a question asking students to define, identify a synonym of, and write a sentence using an important vocabulary word. Finally, the “after reading” section usually asks students to go back and see what they knew and learned. For instance, they may revisit the pre-reading section and place a star next to each question they answered correctly and fill out what they learned from the reading (L part of the KWL chart). They also may be asked to ask a question that requires them to use high-order thinking skills. The following is an example: “Pretend as if you are a person who lived in the United States during the Great Depression. Write a short journal entry from that person’s perspective (you may be a child, woman, or man). Be sure to include evidence from the textbook.”
