We currently cover the following McPherson-area school district: McPherson Unified School District 418.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the McPherson District Curriculum
Small class sizes throughout the district allow teachers to address individual students distinct learning needs. The curriculum establishes all the key learning objectives but teachers have the flexibility to deliver these objectives in the way that best meets their students learning requirements. Modeling of reading strategies and math solving-problems, group activities, and increasing students opportunities for independent research and learning are all methods commonly used.
As students move to middle and high school, exploratory courses and extracurricular activities develop student interests and talents. McPherson High School provides vocational, career planning services, and college preparatory programs. Additionally, to prepare students to meet and exceed post-secondary academic and professional expectations, students are given many opportunities to use technology, develop research skills, present and discuss ideas, and collaborate with peers.

Chalk Talk: Gender and Education
Girls can be overshadowed by the boys in our classrooms, who tend to be more aggressive in answering questions and demanding of time. As girls progress through school, they tend to fall more and more into the background, not getting the attention they need. Girls begin to feel as if they are not as smart as the boys, and unfortunately, our society reinforces this. Boys are given toys that encourage critical and creative thinking, such as LEGOS and robots, whereas girls are given dolls, makeup, and clothes. Boys are taught to be thinkers, while girls are conditioned to care about their appearance. Parents can choose novels or movies that highlight the accomplishments of female leaders and bring female mentors in the fields of science, technology, and engineering. When we consciously pay attention to the girls in educational landscape and put a stop to the stereotypes thrust on female learners, we will encourage and inspire our girls as leaders.
