Creston District and Curriculum

Creston Community School District contains an elementary school with grades K-5, a middle school, and a high school and provides all students with learning supports and enhancements. Creston Community School District describes “Panthers Learning” as relentlessly curious, challenged to be on their “mental tiptoes,” and learning being connected to real life. The district uses the Iowa Core curriculum, which includes aspects of the nationwide Common Core Standards and contains research-based instructional methods that help students learn essential concepts and skills in language arts, math, social studies, science, and 21st century skills.

We currently cover the following Crestons-area school district: Creston Community School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Creston District Curriculum

Creston specifically has focused on implementing the Characteristics of Effective Instruction as well as student-centered classrooms. The district will examine multiple pieces of evidence and data to ensure that the Iowa Core is successful and leading to student achievement; this includes classroom assessments, standardized assessments, teacher walk-through notes, and professional development surveys. The district publishes quarterly Curriculum Newsletters to provide the latest curriculum news.

With the recent implementation of Common Core Standards and framework design, the focus of teaching has required teachers to cover the major topics in each subject so that students are continually progressing along a logical path of learning. Standards in English Language Arts detail the major skills of reading comprehension including identifying key ideas, understanding the craft and structure of a text, connecting texts to the world and their selves, and being able to seek out increasingly complex texts.

Chalk Talk: Spotlight on Children's Books

The following two children’s books are great to read with young students around Halloween time. “Pumpkin Patch Puppy”, written by Danielle Denega and illustrated by Barry Goldberg, features the popular red dog Clifford. In the book, Clifford is very eager to explore the pumpkin patch when he visits it for this first time. The story isn't Halloween-centric and instead educates students on elements of autumn, such as apples, cider, etc. In “Trick or Treat, Smell My Feet”, written and illustrated by Diane de Groat, Gilbert accidentally brings his sister’s ballerina costume to school on the day of the Halloween parade, but it does not end up being the disaster he thought it would be. The story helps to show children that a trick may not be so terrible after all.
