Augusta District and Curriculum
The Augusta Unified School District 402 is made up of four elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. English Language Arts ad Math instruction in Augusta schools is based on the Common Core State Standards and have been further developed by the Kansas Department of Education to integrate with other subject areas like social studies and science. The goal is to increase all literacy and critical thinking skills that students graduate with. Students are also encouraged to take up sports or join extracurricular clubs to help develop their interests and abilities.
We currently cover the following Augusta-area school district: Augusta Unified School District 402.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Augusta District Curriculum
The Language Arts standards require students to develop important literacy skills such as reading comprehension, textual criticism, and writing and revision. Students learn to write for a specific time period and audience. They are taught ways to brainstorm and outline or graphically organize their thoughts so that they are able to substantiate the ideas they develop in the form of thesis statements. The standards also encourage students to apply these literacy skills to all areas of study.
These Math standards require students to develop core mathematics skills such as problem modeling, argument construction, and the ability to communicate mathematics concepts precisely. Emphasis is also placed on data analysis skills with students beginning early to understand ratios and proportions and using that knowledge later in statistics. The standards encourage students to use these skills in conjunction with other subjects like engineering and technology so that the applicability is clear.

Chalk Talk: STEM Programs
Since the passing of NCLB, U.S. schools have focused primarily on teaching students reading and math. Of course, these are both useful subjects, but together they do not develop the broad range of skills that today’s students need. That is why the increased focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education is such a breath of fresh air. However, all is not ideal in the land of STEM, because STEM education has its own problems. Foremost among them is that girls, who traditionally perform well in STEM subjects in high school, are unlikely to pursue STEM education and careers after high school. Of course, not all girls need to grow up to be STEM professionals, but in order for STEM professions to be well-balanced and to represent a broad range of points of views, they must have many women among their ranks. High schools, it seems, are doing a fine job teaching girls STEM skills. Now it is up to colleges to be more aggressive in recruiting girls who take an interest in STEM subjects.
