Groton District and Curriculum
Groton-Dunstable Regional School District encompasses the communities of Groton and Dunstable. Groton-Dunstable Regional’s Teaching & Learning department is headed by the Assistant Superintendent. There is a curriculum-related blog that she regularly updates. With the recent adoption of the Common Core Standards the district aims to communicate with parents about how the curriculum implementation is developing and about the types of learning standards that students are held to. There has also been a shift to increase the critical thinking skills of students and parents are encouraged to review the expectations to see how they can assist at home.
We currently cover the following Groton-area school district: Groton-Dunstable Regional School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Groton District Curriculum
The practice of science is a critical component of the middle school science curriculum. Learners develop an understanding of scientific investigations. Observer bias is discussed, with students identifying the ways in which their preconceived notions can influence their ability to remain objective when performing experiments. Students take part in generating scientific questions, as well as proposing appropriate methods for testing those questions, such as field studies, lab experiments, and the like.
The writing strand of the high school English language arts curriculum is intended to help students develop strong writing skills that will help them achieve their educational, career, and life goals. Students learn how to establish an opinion effectively by presenting organized facts that substantiate their claim. Analysis of multiple viewpoints is undertaken such that students understand how to take information from several sources and utilize it to support their argument. Also of importance is acquiring the writing skills to create engaging text.

Chalk Talk: Extensions of and Choices within Public Schools
Public school districts often offer more than just traditional school buildings. Many of them now have their own virtual schools or are affiliated with state public virtual school systems. This way, it can be a relatively seamless transition for students with physical impairments who cannot get to school or those who have trouble learning in typical classroom environments. Some districts are starting to offer alternative schools for students with severe behavioral or mental challenges or who may have dropped out of high school previously. These schools may offer much smaller class sizes, more individualized instruction, and tools to meet their therapeutic needs. Many high schools allow students who are interested in pursuing specific fields as careers to attend vocational schools or other specialized programs. Finally, if schools are not performing well academically on standardized assessments, parents may have the option of switching their children to a different school within the same district.
