The frameworks also contain college and career ready standards that instill critical thinking skills and help develop collaboration skills.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Highland Charter Township District Curriculum
The Huron Valley School District include the subjects of biology and chemistry in the science curriculum. Students begin by studying living systems and elements from the larger aspects, in elementary, to the smallest parts of each. Included in biology is the study of DNA, Darwin’s Theory, evolution of populations and bacteria. In chemistry students study counting calories, calculating energy and solubility. Each of these subjects show students to look beyond the surface of things to find things of interest underneath.
One part of the curriculum at Huron Valley School District is history. Educators use a variety of resources, in creative ways, to make history come to life for the students. By combining the use of literature, newspapers, films and primary sources, the students become aware of the people and events that make up this subject. They also take the information from these sources to then research a person well enough to debate an issue from that historical person’s viewpoint. When they enter their career, these students will be aware of the difference each person can make.

Chalk Talk: Test Terminology
Test results can be difficult to understand if there is confusion in the terminology. There may be a number of scores listed but it may be difficult to understand. A raw score tells the number of questions that had correct answers on the test and does not tell any true information. Standard scores take into consideration other students of the same age and grade. These are represented as a part of a normal curve. When test results talk about grade or age equivalent scores they look at the way a student answers the questions and then tell what level the student is at, according to this test. For these results a third grade student may be given a score of 6.3 in reading. This means that when the student reads, they are reading the material the way a sixth grade student would read it. The percentile rank compares this student with others that took the test while a stanine rates a student on a scale from 1 to 9, where 1,2,3 are below average and 7,8,9 are above. With the understanding of this terminology parents are better able to see how their child is doing and if there is need for concern.
