Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Burlington District Curriculum
For the Common Core State Standards English/Language Arts (ELA) standards, reading, writing, speaking, and listening are the focus with informational texts being introduced as grade progress. In-depth questioning and evidence-based citations are the expectation. Students in the middle grades acquire more advanced skills, including the ability to evaluate the arguments presented by an author in a persuasive piece of writing. Students are expected to writing argumentatively, explanatory, and narratively and research skills are promoted.
For K-8 Math, the standards focus on deep understanding and fluency. Solutions, problem solving, and real world situations are presented. For grades 9-12, students use statistics and real world situations to solve problems and fully understand problems and concepts. Student learning is driven by standards-based instruction that is developed based upon student testing data and the latest educational research. The district also engages in opportunities to promote acceptance, respect, and multiculturalism in order to prepare students for life in a highly diverse world.

Chalk Talk: AP Exams at a Glance
The culmination of taking an AP class is taking the final step of the AP Exam. There are 36 different exams each unique with different requirements, but there are some commonalities among them. Most exams are two to three hours long with a limited break. The first part of the exam is normally the multiple-choice questions with each consisting of four or five answer choices to choose from. You only received credit for those multiple choice questions answered correctly so there is no penalty for answering incorrectly. The second part of the exam is the free-response questions that require the test-taker to create their own responses. It is exam-dependent and may be an essay, solution to a problem, or spoken response. Some AP exams are actually CD based and taken on the computer and AP Studio Art requires students to submit portfolios of their work. Scoring on the exam ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest. Registration for AP exams is required so make sure you stay informed of important dates.
