Lufkin District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Lufkin builds success for its students by creating a curriculum that is built upon the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The TEKS is a comprehensive framework detailing the learning expectations that students will face in each course at each grade level. By having a series of benchmarks which are testable, educators are able to understand the strengths and weaknesses of their students and help each student achieve at a high level in core subjects. In high school, the curriculum is enhanced by electives driven by career areas like culinary arts, technology, or engineering.
We currently cover the following Lufkin-area school district: Lufkin Independent School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lufkin District Curriculum
The students at Lufkin Schools learn many strategies for different purposes. First they learn how to solve dilemmas when they come across words to decode. Next they learn how to ask questions to understand what they read. They also learn to make connections to their own lives, how to make inferences and visualize. When they enter high school they use each of these strategies as they make character analysis, homelessness in the works of “Beowulf,” “Macbeth,” and the works of Chaucer.
In Lufkin Schools, the Social Studies curriculum helps students feel a connection to what they are studying. In the elementary grades students study the people that help to keep the community safe. While they are learning about this the students take field trips to the fire station and to the town hall. They also learn about the history of Texas. Part of this includes field trips to the Rice Family Home to learn about the history of missionary and pioneer groups. They also learn about how exploration and immigration shape cultural changes.

Chalk Talk: Social Development in Elementary School
By the time that students enter fourth grade, they enjoy being social. This is the year when student begin to gossip, tease and criticize others. They begin to assign labels to others, anything from popular to loser. They also begin to label their own social group. They understand best friends, friends and acquaintances; however, these labels can change from minute to minute. Parents need to be involved in their child’s life, especially if their child is the one that is being teased. When a parent becomes involved in the school, they begin to learn the names of the classmates and then it makes it easier to arrange activities away from the school. It also allows name recognitions when having a conversation with the child. If the child is facing a rough time from other students, make sure to include the teacher or guidance counselor when looking for advice.
