Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Washington, DC District Curriculum
The curriculum used across the district is based on Common Core Standards which are a series of objectives in Math and Language Arts. The plan progresses students through major topics in each subject and helps them to build the foundation upon which to do more complex, analytic work at the high school level. An emphasis on decoding meaning in texts, developing written expression, and problem-solving in all types of math is central to the framework.
Other goals of the curriculum include the development of critical thinking skills, strong communication abilities, and an understanding of the processes inherent to scientific discovery. Many courses and programs provide a cross-curricular experience, such as arts integration or language immersion, with the goal of promoting thinking that sees connections between areas of learning. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) is also an area of integrated program development with the goal that students learn these subjects together so that they see the practical applications of science and math.

Chalk Talk: Tips for Developing Close Reading Habits
What students read during their education contributes to a significant portion of their learning. The ability to read closely and to make meaning from the information is critical to academic development. A text offers up a lot for a student to learn - there is new vocabulary, new concepts, tone of voice, point of view, graphic text features - all of which help a reader understand the greater meaning of the text. It is important to ask questions about unfamiliar words and concepts, think about point of view and bias, and to think about why the author is wrong or right. These skills are the foundation of question generation, analysis and evaluation of information.
