Educating Our Parents: Understanding the De Soto District Curriculum
The Kansas College and Career Ready Standards detail the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities that students should develop in each subject. In Math, students develop their logical problem-solving methods and learn how to use quantitative information to reason about problems. In Science, students use the scientific process to hone their reasoning skills even further. These skills are stressed across disciplines so that students develop the skills and techniques necessary for future success.
Communication skills are also taught, as in the sharing of thoughts, opinions, or information by speech writing, or representations. It is essential for students to be fluent communicators in a variety of medium and in both group and individual presentations. De Soto Unified School District also believes in promoting perseverance and steady persistence in a course of action in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or disappointment. Finally, the school believes in reflection and the focus of self-evaluation for the purpose of improvement.

Chalk Talk: The SAT and ACT
There are two primary types of standardized tests colleges will accept: the SAT and the ACT. Many students will have taken others, such as the PSAT or the PLAN. These are more diagnostic tests, something like practice tests. Students who do well on the PSAT can qualify for the National Merit Scholarship, and this will look very good to a college. Not every college requires standardized testing, but most do. Those that don’t usually require something in lieu of the test, such as an additional essay or a graded written exam. Some require an interview instead. Most public universities not only require standardized testing, but consider it the second most important element in an application, after the transcript. They essentially draw a line, and students must fall at or above that line, or they aren’t accepted. Fortunately, this line isn’t usually exceptionally high, but it is required.
