Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Columbus District Curriculum

In teaching English, Reading, and Language Arts, the goal is to tie the skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening together. Students learn all skills simultaneously, so that they can understand how the skills relate to and build upon each other. To further show students the relevance of the subject, teachers try to connect their classroom instruction with the world around them. Ultimately, students must become comfortable expressing themselves in both written and spoken formats, master reading comprehension skills, and expand their vocabulary.

The Math curriculum is similarly designed to emphasize key areas of learning while having a range of skills developed within each area. Algebra, geometry, statistics and data analysis, and increasingly technology are all areas of study in Math. Students develop skills working with equations, factoring and modeling, enabling their mathematic reasoning abilities.

Columbus is the capital of Ohio. The city is located in Franklin County, and is the most populated city in the state and the 14th most populated city in the United States. Named after Christopher Columbus, the city was planned to be a political centre by the Ohio legislature in 1812. The first railroad in the city arrived in 1850, which helped kick-start its growth. Today, the city’s economy has diversified to include education and health, transportation and utilities, and professional and business services. The city’s geographical location has made it a transportation centre, as the city is connected extensively to the rest of the United States by railroads, an extensive highway network and an international airport. About half the U.S. population is located within a 500-mile radius of Columbus.
