Layton District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Like all schools in Utah, Davis School District is moving towards implementation of the Common Core State Standards, a nationwide set of educational standards designed to make students career and college ready. The Common Core emphasizes key skills in Math and English, and their applicability across the curriculum. They are based on the best educational research and are substantive and clear in their nature. Through the Davis Essential Skills and Knowledge (DESK) Program, teachers are focusing on making sure their students meet these standards, at every level.
We currently cover the following Layton-area school district: Davis School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Layton District Curriculum
The focus on Math revolves around major strands of learning in numeracy, geometry and measurement, algebraic operations, and data analysis. These are taught in a more general, foundational manner for students in elementary and middle school, and focused in on as full courses in high school. Students are expected to develop procedural skills in each, culminating in an ability to understand the best method to solve any type of mathematic problem.
In Language Arts, the strands of learning focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking, media study, and research skills. The goal is to develop students who are critical readers and able to write and convey substantial meaning. Reading comprehension skills including decoding of meaning, word study, and analysis of different literary genres are all part of the learning expectations. The use of media serves to provide texts for analysis and a means for creating student’s own work.

Chalk Talk: Hands-on Learning
More schools are beginning programs that emphasize hands-on and experiential learning. Really great school districts will have plenty of opportunities for students to apply what they learn in the classroom to concrete opportunities. For Science classes, this may mean science fairs, or competing in the Science Olympiad. It may include concerts and performances that bring arts students out into their communities. For English classes, it may mean reading to others at community centers, or even with children in earlier grades. These hands-on learning opportunities are a way for students to understand how important their education is, and to put it into practice.
