Fairfield District and Curriculum
The goal and mission of the Fairfield Community Schools is to offer an educational experience that challenges students by providing a diverse and comprehensive curriculum. The Fairfield High School curriculum is also a good example of classes that continually challenge students. Students taking English courses at all grade levels are expected to write analytical essays using critical thinking skills on various topics. Students can further challenge themselves by taking Advanced Placement courses in English or a technical writing course.
We currently cover the following Fairfield-area school district: Fairfield Community Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Fairfield District Curriculum
At the elementary level, students are expected not only to learn to count and do simple math equations but also explain how they reached their answer. First graders are expected to find ten less than a given number using only mental skills and are expected to explain how they reached that answer. Fourth graders are asked to look at a set of fractions and determine which one is the largest and be able to explain how they reached their conclusion.
Fairfield students are also challenged by methods of assessment. Some students are tested using the MAP system (Measures of Academic Progress), a computerized testing system that generates questions as the test is in progress. When a student gets a question right, the assessment increases the difficulty level to challenge him. When a student answers a question incorrectly, the questions decrease in difficulty to best assess a student’s knowledge in the subject.

Chalk Talk: Choosing an Outside Reading Book
Reading is an important skill at every grade level and students from kindergarten to seniors in high school can benefit from reading outside the school day. Some teachers assign outside reading and will provide a list of recommended books but there are other ways to choose an appropriate book as well. First, look for something that your child is interested in. There are books on every topic written at every grade level and an outside reading book should be enjoyable and interesting. Also, don’t be afraid to challenge your child. Elementary school students should try to read chapter books and young adult novels. High school students should attempt to tackle literature and the classics. If your child is reading at home, you should consider reading too. For younger children, read the same book so that the two of you can engage in discussions about it. For older kids, just seeing you take time out of your schedule to read demonstrates that it is an important lifelong skill and entertainment option.
