Naugatuck District and Curriculum
The Naugatuck Public Schools follow the Common Core State Standards and Connecticut Learning Standards to ensure that all students receive a comprehensive education in their core and elective courses. Learning objectives are stated for students to meet each year, and teachers are able to use their discretion in how best to convey the material. Each year students are expected to meet certain benchmarks as outlined in the curriculum and are assessed through statewide assessments to ensure they are meeting the goals. These tests also ensure that teachers and schools are providing for the appropriate adequate yearly progress for their students.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Naugatuck District Curriculum
The Language Arts curriculum moves students through different genres of text such as fiction, poetry, drama, historical fiction, and non-fiction. While students will learn to read these texts fluently, they will also be able to analyze what they have read for meaning. Students also participate in regular technology classes in order to prepare them with the skills necessary for the 21st Century. They not only learn how to write essays, but they develop a number of media skills to enhance the presentations of their original work.
Social Studies courses are broken down into Civics, Economics, U.S. History, and World History. Students learn about historical and cultural facts as well as major concepts in governance, economics, migration, and social change.

Chalk Talk: Math Word Problems
With the introduction of the Common Core Math Standards, students are expected to develop a deeper level of mathematic literacy as one of the outcomes. This is accomplished in many ways, but word problems are a mainstay of early and intermediate math learning. For students, one of the key skills is understanding the language of math and what they are being asked within a word problem. They should use clues based on word meanings to understand the method or formula by which to solve the problem. In general, an equation will be what they have been studying, so have them compare formulas or process they have been learning with what they are trying to find. It may be helpful to have your child review these formulas or processes before they work on the problem so they are already thinking along those lines. Make sure they read the problem several times to verify their final answer is correct. If these helps are not enough, your child can talk to their teacher or a tutor in the area to receive more assistance.
