Fernley District and Curriculum
Lyon County School District motto is “We Make a Difference,” and this is true of their curriculum methods and student learning programs. Despite the small size of this district, the impact they have on student learning is great. With innovative programs that put iBooks in the hands of elementary students and advanced video programming for high schoolers, there are many ways that science and math curriculum are integrated in Lyon County schools.
We currently cover the following Fernley-area school district: Lyon County School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Fernley District Curriculum
Mathematics standards are based on the Common Core State Standards, the elective, nation-wide standards that are aimed at standardizing curriculum throughout the united states. In this model, kindergarteners learn about quantities and relationships between numbers and objects/items. By the end of fifth grade, students should be able to use fractions, understand negative numbers, and have a basic understanding of geometry. By the time students reach high school, the emphasis moves from a conceptual understanding of math to an effort to apply those concepts to real-world situations.
Science curriculum is based on state-wide learning standards and focuses on Next Generation Science Standards, a national initiative that helps students understand the nature of science in addition to learning facts and figures. Students in elementary school start with life science, physical/earth science, and move on to space and more abstract scientific concepts.

Chalk Talk: STEM – Contextual Learning for Success
The new buzz in education is STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. STEM is all about creating connections between applied sciences in order to reinforce educational concepts. For example, a career in engineering requires the use of technology, applied mathematics skills, and a deep understanding of science. Teachers are being asked to innovate their curriculum to facilitate these natural connections between the subjects. As technology becomes more advanced, STEM connections are being made for all grade levels. Students scientists plant seeds and measure their growth under different conditions just like agriculturalists would. Other classrooms use technology like GPS units to teach coordinates and connect students to the natural world with geocaching activities.
