Knoxville District and Curriculum

Knoxville Iowa Community School District strives to cultivate 21st century skills in students. This includes the ability to think critically, communicate effectively, solve problems, and collaborate on a global scale. Such 21st century skills are necessary for students to have success in competing for many future jobs that may not even exist yet. Core academics are taught according to the guidelines of the Iowa Core Curriculum which issues grade level expectations in literacy, math, science, social studies, and 21st century skills. Areas of integration between subjects is sought so that students understand how their learning connects.

We currently cover the following Knoxville-area school district: Knoxville Iowa Community School District.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Knoxville District Curriculum

The Math curriculum prepares students for advanced topics such as algebra, geometry, statistics and pre-calculus in high school. By the end of the 8th grade, students will be proficient in number systems, expressions and equations, functions, geometry, and statistics and probability so that they can take on these more difficult courses. Students will understand the statement of the Pythagorean Theorem and see how it applies in real world applications. They will also use quantitative data to make predictions and decisions.

With regards to the Literacy Standards, by the time students start high school they should be able to read, write, and communicate using analytic skills. Reading standards call on students to be able to identify key ideas and details, understand the craft and structure of literature, recognize the goals of non-fiction, be able to integrate ideas and knowledge, and demonstrate an increasingly level of complexity in their reading. Writing goals include writing for a variety of purposes, working through a writing process, and being able to conduct and use research.

Chalk Talk: Children’s Literature Spotlight: Variation on Classic Fairytales

Many children are aware of the classic versions of the most popular fairytales, but there are many great books that tell different versions and allow students to see things from multiple perspectives. Lon Po Po: A Red-Riding Hood Story from China is a variation on the classic Little Red-Riding Hood fairytale that gives children a different cultural perspective, as it takes place in China. The Caldecott Medal winning book is full of interesting panel illustrations. The Princess and the Pea in Miniature, written and illustrated by Lauren Child and photographed by Polly Borland, tells the well-known version of the tale, but it is the captivating images of drawn characters in front of a variety of photographed backgrounds that makes Child’s book truly unique.
