Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Highland District Curriculum
The district is transitioning to Common Core State Standards. These standards are intended to raise the rigor in the school, encouraging students to engage in higher-level thinking in all content areas. They were developed in conjunction with educators, industry professionals, and college professors so that students are thoroughly prepared for post-secondary life. Teachers and students worked together to improve reading skills across all content areas and they plan to build on reading skills to focus on improving writing across content areas.
The curriculum focuses on critical thinking and critical writing skills as well as analytical writing skills. Students are expected to read thoughtfully and write intelligently about their reading, using evidence from the text to support their claims. They learn to write in a variety of formats to prepare them for diverse approaches in the future. The Math curriculum emphasizes mathematical reasoning, logical sequencing, and other problem-solving techniques. Both subjects connect the instruction to real world applications of what students are learning.

Chalk Talk: College Interviews
College interviews don’t have to be as intimidating as they appear. The most important thing to keep in mind is that college recruiters aren’t looking to embarrass or “call out” a potential student; rather, the purpose of an interview is to get to know the student and to engage them in a conversation. The recruiter can learn a lot by talking with a prospective student. The dress and appearance of a student can say a lot. The body language and way the student handles him or herself are also important. If the student demonstrates interest in learning, in the college, or in a specific major in a meaningful way, this can give the interviewer a very positive impression. They aren’t looking to quiz you on your knowledge of the college; they just want to get to know prospective students.
