Educating Our Parents: Understanding the New Rochelle District Curriculum

The core subjects are designed around a framework that details the grade-level skills and knowledge, and the modes of thinking and communicating that students will do. For instance, Language Arts has been developed with an eye to how language helps students in acts of analysis and evaluation, understanding informational texts, writing and clear expression, and for social interaction. Students will learn about the conventions and structure of the language and be expected to exhibit this on written assignments.

Math, Science, and Technology have come under one framework in the NYS Learning Standards. Students are to use all three subjects to tackle learning challenges and determine processes for investigating, experimenting, and solving problems. These skills naturally gain in complexity as students move from elementary to high school, but they are scaffolded by the expectations detailed in the curriculum. The goal of the schools is to educate the whole child, and so, a range of other programs have been developed to match diverse student interests and needs.

New York Tutors

It is an educator’s purpose to embrace the uniqueness of each student and to apply appropriate instruction based upon a student’s individual development, strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, and needs. A teacher should act as a guide and a facilitator to help students in discovering their talents and how they may utilize them to make the world a better place for future generations. It is the duty of the teacher to help students to develop a love for learning and a respect for their individual abilities.
I believe in relating the subject with something the student knows already and inventing creative analogies so that the student can understand the problem in many ways.
Ensuring that each student is feeling confident about their work and assignments. Its important to build confidence in the students and nurture them towards the assistance that they need in whatever areas of difficulty that they are experiencing with. Then that will translate on how they approach things not only in their schooling, but in everything else as well.

Chalk Talk: Dollars and Sense

How many times have you read the headline, “Top 10 Majors Employers Hire,” or, “The Least Valuable Degrees?” The Internet provides a new one almost weekly. Don’t let that keep you from your dreams! While a degree in English always ends up on the “least valuable” list, many employers seek the skills English majors bring to the table: writing skills, eloquent speech, and intelligence, to name a few. When choosing a course of study, first think of what your ideal job might be. Then do some research to determine what degree would best suit your dream job. Pursuing only what pays the most may feel like you’re a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Sticking with what you love may prove to be more rewarding in the end.
