Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Estevan District Curriculum

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Education has designed a curriculum for French immersion that parallels the English-language version. The district also offers a Dual Credit Initiative to allow high school students to earn both high school and post-secondary credits for various post-secondary institutions across the province. South East Cornerstone is also dedicated to early learning, early literacy, First Nations Education, and instructional technology.

South East Cornerstone Public School Division #209 utilizes the provincial (Saskatchewan) Core Curriculum. This includes the curricula for arts education, English language arts, health, math, physical education, science, social studies, Aboriginal Languages (K-12), and Core Ukrainian (K-12). The district offers a French Immersion program, during which the majority of the content areas—with the exception of English language arts—are taught in French to students in grades 9-12.

They were not only there to drop off dental hygiene supplies, clothing, and toys donated by the community but to actually interact and help Mexican families, as they built a clean toilet and an economical stove and helped students with autism start a chicken farm at their school.

Chalk Talk: The DRA

The DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment) is given to young students to assess their reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension. Based on the students’ scores in these categories, a DRA score, which is representative of their instructional reading level, is given. This means that students can read a book independently with roughly 90 to 94 percent accuracy—the book is not too easy or difficult. The DRA is typically administered at the beginning of the school year, at the end of the school year, and sometimes at mid-year to stduents in grades 1 to 3. As the student reads aloud to the teacher, the teacher marks the student’s errors and what type of error, or miscue, it was. Teachers must also determine readers’ fluency and comprehension level based on specific DRA rubrics.
