Highland District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The curriculum in the Alpine School District is based on the Utah Core Standards, which apply across the state, ensuring high quality teaching standards in all schools. They include clear curricular achievement goals in Math and English Language Arts, and requirements in Social Studies, Science, and other elective subjects.
We currently cover the following Highland-area school district: Alpine School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Highland District Curriculum
In Language Arts, the curriculum is designed to help students develop skills over time. Early learning concentrates on mastering the basic skills of reading, including phonics, spelling, and how to read progressively more difficult texts. Students are challenged to read works that will make them grow as readers over time. Once they have mastered the basics, they are asked to use those reading skills in many contexts such as deciphering word problems in math.
In high school, the focus is on students reading informational texts, which aim to convey information clearly and help support a factual understanding of the world. Most of this reading is done in science, social studies, and elective classes, but students also read a mixture of informational and literary texts in their English classes. They focus on being able to understand the argument of a text, and then to be able to evaluate argument using evidence. In literary texts, they are asked to be able to form conclusions about what they have read.

Chalk Talk: The Different Types of Assessments Used in Schools
Students are frequently assessed at all levels of education today. The number of tests and their different nature can be bewildering, to parents and students alike. However, all these tests have as their purpose making sure that students are getting their educational needs met. Some tests, like statewide exams, are designed to make sure that all schools are doing acceptably in educating their students. Others are designed to pinpoint exactly where certain students are with different subjects, to make sure that they are getting the help they need. Still others, like the ACT and SAT, are designed to make sure students are prepared for college. It is important to ask, whenever your student is taking some form of assessment (from an in-class test to a major statewide exam), what its purpose is, and what the teachers, and you, will be able to do with the data. Testing isn’t about failure or success: it’s about using the test as a diagnostic tool to get feedback on how to best help your child succeed.
