Harrisburg District and Curriculum
The Harrisburg School District features curriculum developed from Pennsylvania State Standards in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Teachers, as well as students, are assessed frequently on how well students can learn and use concepts and skills.
We currently cover the following Harrisburg-area school district: Harrisburg School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Harrisburg District Curriculum
The Harrisburg School District uses two different Math which are based on using real world applications to illustrate math concepts. The strategy is designed so that teachers and students are all progressing through the same material. Science education also stresses practical application along with the development of conceptual understanding. Language Arts is arranged so that literacy and communication are broadly developed.
Students within the same class may all have different strengths and instruction should illustrate concepts using different strategies. For example, some students will remember the letters in a word by recognizing the shape of letters and how they look. Those students may benefit by using a system where words and letters are colored for emphasis. Still others will react more to difference is the way letters sound, and some students will need to practice writing the letters or using a sand tray to really learn them.

Chalk Talk: Why Are There So Many Instructional Approaches
Effective teachers use many different ways to teach the concepts and skills students need to learn. Some learn best by what they see, others learn by what they hear, and still others learn best by making something or teaching another student about what they know. For example, some students can learn math facts by drawing pictures, using graphics and color, while others need to hear them; perhaps by singing a rap song or rhyme. Still others make up dances based upon number facts, or build a math calculator to illustrate the point. Skilled tutors can find methods that are the best fit for each student.
