Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lumberton District Curriculum
For each grade level and main content area, the Public Schools of Robeson County has posted a curriculum pacing guide for each grading quarter of the school year. Each pacing guide contains the essential questions that drive the instructional units as well as the standards covered for each category. It shows the scope and sequence for learning and key benchmarks that students should meet in terms of skill development, conceptual knowledge, and critical thinking skills. Teachers are able to instruct in these goals in a manner they see fit.
The language arts standards are broken down into reading (i.e.: foundational skills, phonological awareness and phonics, etc.), writing, speaking and listening, language (i.e.: conventions and vocabulary acquisition and use), the craft and structure of informational texts, and the craft and structure of literature. The district utilizes the North Carolina Essential Standards, which incorporate the national Common Core Standards. These standards integrate the learning of reading, writing, and communicating so students grow in each area.

Chalk Talk: Student Feedback
It is important for students to understand how they did on a test or project so they can undertand the grades they received. The teacher comments should describe some things the student did well and what he/she could improve upon. Following is an example of effective feedback, and what a parent or student should ask for, on a fifth grade student who received a cumulative grade of a ‘B’ on a social studies unit. During this unit, each student has completed several projects, researching the country of his or her choice.
