Educating Our Parents: Understanding the El Dorado District Curriculum
The elementary curriculum focuses on core academics and developing students literacy, communication, problem-solving, investigation, and inquiry skills. The teaching of reading is of special importance and goes beyond teaching children just how to read stories and literary works. There is an emphasis on non-fiction reading so that students succeed with the reading portion of courses such as science or social studies. Students are taught how different texts serve different purposes, and strategies to decode meaning from all text types.
In addition to a strong focus on academics, students may also pursue extracurricular activities through a full sports program, debate, forensics, student government, journalism, and photography. An alternative program is available for high school students who require a non-traditional setting, and the Butler County Special Education Cooperative serves the special needs of students in the district. As such, all students acquire the knowledge and skills they need in order to be successful in school and life.

Chalk Talk: What Are Multiple Intelligences?
Cognitive psychologist Harold Gardner believed that if we acknowledge student differences and cater to the areas in which children are “smart”, we will be able to facilitate learning more efficiently. Gardner stated that there are 8 Intelligences: interpersonal, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, existential, logical, linguistic, or visual, and if we allow students to use strength areas, they will experience increased success. By using Gardner’s theory in teaching, we provide students with choice in learning, thereby allowing them to take charge of their own learning. Numerous quizzes are available online for students of all ages to determine strength areas. After students take the quiz and see how they are “smart”, begin planning activities that plays on those area. If students are musical, for example, allow them to create a song or rap about a character from a novel. If they are kinesthetic, have them complete activities through a hands-on and active approach. When we look at students as individuals with diverse learning styles, learning is much more meaningful and lasting.
