Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Itasca District Curriculum

The elementary curriculum introduces students to a variety of literacy, communication, and problem-solving skills that they will use throughout their education. They are introduced to basic concepts in science and the process of scientific reasoning that is undergone. The reading curriculum emphasizes reading literary, informational, and foundational texts so that students can read across subject areas with proficiency. They also learn how to speak, listen, and be part of a group activity so to develop their collaborative skills.

The curriculum promotes critical thinking, active reading, and analytical writing skills as well as encouraging science literacy and problem solving skills in real-world situations. Students read complex, challenging texts in a variety of formats and mediums. They read for understanding but also to look at the nuts and bolts of how the piece was assembled. Students develop ideas based on their reading and do research to gather evidence to support these ideas in well-reasoned essays. They also learn presentation skills and the process of giving and receiving feedback.

Chalk Talk: Fast Aps

Fast Aps are a kind of fast turnaround application. They might go by many names, but they have several characteristics in common. They aren’t usually openly available; the college will invite students to apply this way, though sometimes they are offered on the college’s website. Fast Aps promise a quick turnaround, usually a few weeks. They are also usually stripped-down; they don’t require all the elements of a usual application. There might be one essay, if that, and it’s usually a short one. They don’t always require recommendations. They don’t require a resume or portfolio. They do require transcripts and test scores, and essentially, these are the basis for the college’s decision. The application itself is usually pretty basic, also.
