Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Alton District Curriculum
In Mathematics, classes focus on specific topics and ideas that are essential for students to learn in order to establish a firm foundation. Beginning at the elementary school level, the standards emphasize basic concepts such as numbers and operations before progressing to more advanced topics in middle and high school. Faculty strive to include opportunities for students to apply their math skills to real world problems and challenges.
In English Language Arts, classes focus on reading nonfiction and writing analytic essays in order to develop students’ ability to gather information and use evidence to support claims. The goal is to help students become critical readers and effective writers. The curriculum is based on international standards so that students will be, not only well prepared for post-secondary education, but ready to entire the workforce as competitive employees. Students must be aware of new challenges presented by the ever increasing global nature of our economy.

Chalk Talk: The Benefits of a Small List
There are a lot of colleges students can apply to, and some students will take a pretty random approach to applying, focusing on several highly ranked colleges that they might not have even visited. Eventually, the student runs out of steam and doesn’t even finish some of his/her applications, and when s/he is accepted to several colleges, s/he has no idea which one to enroll in because s/he doesn’t actually know very much about that college. Maybe the student doesn’t get into the highly ranked schools and is stuck with a safety s/he doesn’t like. This leads to a lot of wasted work for the student, the college, and the high school guidance staff. A much better approach is to focus on a small list of well-researched colleges that the student really likes. Safeties are a good idea, but no school should be on the list if the student isn’t willing to actually attend it.
