Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Atchison District Curriculum
Atchison’s English Language Arts curriculum is guided by benchmarked standards that require students to build and strengthen traditional literacy skills through engaging with a wide variety of texts and media, taking part in a recursive writing and revision process, and working towards common goals with other students. For instance, students may read several literary works about choices and consequences, and use it as a guide to complete a presentation of a public policy.
Atchison’s math curriculum is guided by national standards that require students to develop fundamental mathematics skills such as abstract and quantitative reasoning, problem modeling, and pattern recognition. The development of mathematical literacy is an expectation of the curriculum and students are introduced early to word problems and how to interpret data from graphs and charts. The standards encourage students to master these and other mathematics skills and to use them proficiently in real life.

Chalk Talk: Educational Statistics
If you are a person who follows education your head is probably full of numbers, statistics, and percentages. It seems that those are the primary means of measuring the effectiveness of education in the 21st century. This should not come as a surprise. States’ test scores and Average Yearly Progress numbers determine how much money their schools get from the federal government. And, as we all know, report cards are made up of a series of often-context free numbers. The problem is that numbers don’t tell the real story. Of course, they tell us how kids perform on tests, but they don’t tell us how kids respond to real world situations, or how kids work through problems that can’t be solved on a piece of paper. We need the whole story. We need to find a way to measure achievement that does not rely only on numbers.
