Chelmsford District and Curriculum
Chelmsford Public Schools are comprised of seven schools and 5,400 students. There are four elementary schools with grades K-4, two middle schools, and one high school. The district is also home to Chelmsford Integrated Preschool (CHIPS)—a rich early childhood program that is nationally accredited and provides diverse experiences for all children, including those with special needs. Chelmsford Public Schools produce three videos, found on their website, titled “Math with Matthew” that give students and parents a glance at the math classes, curriculum, and teachers at all three levels of the district.
We currently cover the following Chelmsford-area school district: Chelmsford Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Chelmsford District Curriculum
Grades 1-4 have incorporated the Essential Course of Study (ECOS)—an integrated approach to literacy that combines reading and writing. The requirements of the Common Core Standards have called for three major transitions in this area. First, there is an emphasis placed on text-based writing prompts, so these grades have begun using the Journeys curriculum, which provides background information to students who may not have as rich life experiences. Second, students must have experience writing in three genres: narrative, informational, and opinion. Lastly, educators must assess students’ progress using diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments during the school year.
In addition, first grade implements an early intervention Supportive Reading Program for students who appear to be at risk for struggling in reading. This program is designed to supplement the reading instruction in the regular classroom and is delivered several times a week in a small-group setting while guided reading, independent reading time, and literacy centers are going on in the general education classroom.

Chalk Talk: Standards and Anchors
Standards are statements of what students should know, understand, and be able to do at the end of each grade level. The following example of a standard comes from the Pennsylvania Core Standards and is as follows: “Students write for different purposes and audiences. Students write clear and focused text to convey a well-defined perspective and appropriate content.” This is a general statement of student learning and is written as CC.1.4, which represents Common Core, the content area (English language arts is represented with a number one), and the number of the standard (this writing section is the fourth one listed in the English language arts standards). Underneath the general standards are anchors that describe each related skill that students should master. For instance, the third anchor for second grade under CC.1.4. is to “develop the topic with facts and/or definitions.” The complete standard—with its anchor—is written as CC.1.4.2.C., with the two representing second grade and the C indicating that it is the third anchor under that standard. Some anchors that need to be parsed out more also have bullet points underneath them.
