McAllen District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs

McAllen Independent School District uses the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standards to create a meaningful curriculum for each student in their schools. Students are expected to meet key targets within each core subject which are laid out in a progressive format. By high school, the complexity levels allows students to use prior knowledge to explore broader concepts, thereby developing the intended critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the McAllen District Curriculum

The Science curriculum at McAllen Independent School District teaches students to use their senses to explore the world around them. This includes observing plants growing in a classroom, or caring for classroom pets. Students also learn to touch and smell items with care so as not to injure themselves. This is included in laboratory safety that is taught so no matter if the students are outside or inside they know how a scientist explores their world. Students are also taught how to use a variety of media and technology to research and demonstrate the knowledge they have gained.

Writing is introduced to students at McAllen Independent School District through observing and practicing. Students are introduced to the formation of letters in the early years of school. They then learn how to connect these letters to form words, paragraphs and eventually essays. They also learn how to use specific words to convey a feeling throughout a creation, whether it is an expository work or a work of fiction.

Chalk Talk: Seventh and Eighth Grade Reading

By this age most curriculum call for the seventh and eighth grade student to begin to read independently. This term can be confusing to some but generally it means the student is expected to read on their own, without having an adult standing over their shoulder. During this time reading groups are usually eliminated from the classroom and students will be expected to read several poems, plays and one novel each year. At times a student will show no interest at all in reading. If this is the case, the parent should let the teacher know so that a plan can be put together to help this student succeed, not only in this class, but across the curriculum.
