Marion District and Curriculum
Marion School District is comprised of six schools and 4,257 students in grades PK-12. There are two elementary schools (one PK-1 school and another with second and third graders), one intermediate school (grades four and five), a middle school with sixth and seventh graders, a junior high school with grades eight and nine, and a senior high school (grades 10-12). The district’s mission is to prepare its students—both academically and socially—for a constantly evolving technological world and to allow all students to learn by catering to their diversity.
We currently cover the following Marion-area school district: Marion School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Marion District Curriculum
The district uses the Common Core Standards for English language arts and math. The literacy standards are also tied to content areas such as social studies, science, and technical subjects. Because students need to have strong reading, writing, and speaking skills to excel in all content areas, there must be specific learning standards that integrate literacy into other subject areas.
Achievement in math has long been lacking in the United States as compared to other countries, so the new math standards incorporate fewer standards that are delved into much more deeply. The standards were drawn from international frameworks and several research-based models. They focus in on the skills inherent to numeracy/operations, algebra, geometry, probability, statistics and data analysis, as well as objectives for more advanced math.

Keeping Informed: Recent Marion Educational News
- A Leading Teacher - A kindergarten teacher was named the Marion School District Teacher of the Year in 2012. Her principal was not surprised, as she saw her as a natural-born teacher and leader—matching the Master’s Degree she received in Education Leadership. The outstanding educator always believed teaching was her calling and is constantly rewarded when she sees her young students light up when they learn something new. The six-year teacher has learned a great deal since her first year of teaching, when one of her students painted herself blue!
- Middle Schoolers Have a CSI Experience - In 2012, a group of Marion Middle School students were accepted to and attended the CSI: Forensic Science Camp at Arkansas State University for the first time. During the summer camp, the students learned the role science plays in investigations such as the fictional murder mystery that they studied. The students were exposed to robotics, DNA fingerprinting, forensic analysis, psychological profiling, and connections between crime scenes and courtrooms.
- Southern-Based Teachers Flock to Marion - In 2012, Marion Junior High School was one of the host sites for the Mid-South Teachers Teaching with Technology (T3) Regional Conference. Math and science teachers based in southern states such as Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi attended the conference, which was partly sponsored by Texas Instruments. The conference focused on the use of Texas Instruments technology (graphic calculators, software, etc.) in math and science classrooms. Teachers of all experience and grade levels were encouraged to attend and were promised that they would learn something that they could apply in their own classrooms.

Chalk Talk: Diversifying Instruction for Diverse Students
Most of us excel as one of the following types of learners: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic (or perhaps a combination of two of them). Students may be artistically talented, musical, lovers of language, collaborative, etc. The point is, all students are different and, thus, learn differently. Perhaps the musically talented student will learn information best through songs related to the material. Teachers have an obligation to get to know each one of their students and incorporate various instructional strategies so that all students will be engaged and can succeed.
