Amarillo District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Amarillo Schools use Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills as the foundation of a curriculum that helps students excel throughout school and after graduation. This curriculum offers a series of standards, or learning objectives, which guide classroom instruction and are the basis for statewide assessments in core subjects. The mission of the district is to provide each student with opportunities to reach their fullest potential. This occurs both in and out of the classroom, with valuable knowledge and skills being obtained in academic, athletic, and extracurricular settings.
We currently cover the following Amarillo-area school district: Amarillo Independent School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Amarillo District Curriculum
The Reading curriculum in Amarillo begins by teaching students how to read stories. This is done using a variety of sources, from books to eBooks and more. Beginning in early elementary, students see how reading can assist them in other subject areas as well. In fifth grade, students build on these reading skills even more as they begin to identify authors, characters, setting and theme in a non-fiction book. About this time students also learn how to visualize the text they are reading into pictures in their minds.
Mathematics also plays a part in various subjects of study. Amarillo Schools start by showing students that objects can use numbers to represent them when they are counting. They also learn about place values of numbers so they can read, write, compare and order numbers. When they have mastered these number skills they are ready to learn how to place numbers in equations to solve problems in science, social studies or even reading. view all Amarillo tutors
