Falmouth District and Curriculum
Falmouth, which contains eight villages, is the second largest community located on Cape Cod. Falmouth Public Schools consist of seven schools and 3,500 students. There are four elementary schools with grades K-4, two middle schools—one with grades 5-6 and the other containing grades 7-8, and a high school. The district’s mission is for students to be engaged in their learning and become lifelong learners, and this revolves around three core beliefs: the continuous improvement of educators and students, an enthusiasm for learning, and collaboration amongst both teachers and learners.
We currently cover the following Falmouth-area school district: Falmouth Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Falmouth District Curriculum
Falmouth Public Schools’ curriculum aligns with the Common Core Standards and the 2011 Massachusetts Curriculum Framework. The Office of Curriculum and Instruction reviews the curriculum on a yearly basis to ensure that it matches up to the standards, best instructional practices, and mission and core beliefs of the district. The Director of Curriculum and Instruction works with principals, assistant principals, curriculum directors, and teachers in designing the curriculum.
Falmouth uses a balanced literacy approach, adopting the Reading Street program in every K-6 classroom. Students receive instruction in spelling, fluency, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, speaking, reading, and listening. This literacy program supports both the general and special education classroom and incorporates technology. In 2009, as part of a grant, the district began implementing the Keys to Literacy program, with the three focus areas being reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and the responses to open-ended questions.

In an attempt to reduce the amount of water bottles that are used, the group placed a water filling station in the school’s lobby and sold refillable water bottles with the FHS logo to fund the station.

Chalk Talk: Being a Lifelong Learner
Looking at mission statements of many schools across the United States, several of them strive for their students to be “lifelong learners.” This means that they do not want children just to go to school because they have to, memorize information simply so that they can do well on a test, and solely look at letter grades as being meaningful. Schools want their students to love learning and be intrinsically motivated to learn—not just to ace their tests. Students should understand that they can read books and reputable web resources to obtain information, and they should so these things on their own when they want or need to know or understand something. They should also carry these skills throughout their life—far beyond graduation. However, students should not be the only lifelong learners; the educators should be as well. Teachers who want to provide their students with the best instruction possible should be motivated to continually learn about their profession, including best practices, as the learning does not stop after teacher candidates graduate from college.
