Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Sturbridge District Curriculum
The district is working to update its curriculum guides, which provide teachers with instructional benchmarks and expected student outcomes, offer up beneficial resources and strategies that can be used, and “represent the philosophy and direction of the curriculum framework within a specific content area.” These curriculum guides are in the works for the arts, math, English language arts, health and physical education, science and technology, foreign languages, technology, and history and social studies.
The writing curriculum has also been expanded and students are expected to demonstrate strong writing skills across all subject areas. Students are taught to work through elements of writing including outlining, drafting, editing and preparing a final draft. The curriculum requires that both teachers and students understand the complete writing process in detail and that students be consistently monitored and offered on-going feedback. The workshops are unique in that they combine structure, creativity, experimentation, and assessment. Time for mini-lessons for teachers to teach and reinforce skills and concepts is also provided.

The handle of their shovel was 3-D-printed, making it completely adjustable to the user's handedness and height.

Chalk Talk: What Is Earth Science?
Earth science concepts are typically intertwined in elementary (and sometimes middle) school science classes. Earth science is sometimes an elective course offered by high schools and even colleges. Although it is not as well-known or complex as other sciences, it is very important for students to learn about the planet they live on. Concepts in earth science include types of rocks and minerals and the rock cycle, processes such as weathering and erosion, the water cycle, prehistoric ages, the study of atmosphere, earthquakes and volcanoes, etc. The understanding of these concepts helps students see how Earth has changed and may change in the future. A major topic in earth science today is global warming, or climate change.
