Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Iowa Falls District Curriculum
The study of literature is included in the English curriculum at Iowa Falls and Alden Community School District. While in high schools the students learn how to read to support facts from the text, plus they discover how to cite inferences from the reading. They also learn how to find a theme or central idea in order to find the details to support it. Included in this is how this idea shows itself and how it comes to an objective summary. Through their reading, students look at characters which have many different motivations, how they interact with others and how they move the plot forward.

Chalk Talk: Resume Tips
The “Honors and Memberships” section of the resume provides a chance for a candidate to boast about the honors he/she earned for academic performance in college. Here, the candidate may note if he/she earned a spot on the Dean’s List (and the years this was accomplished) and if he/she received, for example, Cum Laude honors upon graduating. He/she may also list his/her class ranking in the school of study. One shouldn't be afraid to list all of his/her achievements in this section for fear of bragging; although they won't earn someone a job, they can be the difference when two candidates are neck-and-neck. This portion of the resume should also be dedicated to the candidate’s memberships in college organizations to show they are well-rounded.
