Educating Our Parents: Understanding the North Attleborough District Curriculum
In reading, the Common Core Standards place a greater emphasis on nonfiction texts as well as more rigorous expectations for text complexity for each grade level, reading comprehension, making text-to-text connections, etc. Additionally, beginning in kindergarten, writing various genres of texts is expected. Students should be able to work together, express their ideas effectively, and use various forms of media for communication purposes.
Beginning in 2014-15, the progress of the implementation of and student performance under the new standards will be monitored and evaluated, and any issues will be solved. By 2016, there will be a complete change over to the PARCC assessment. This assessment will prepare all students for college and their careers, be of high quality and be a full measure of Common Core, supports teachers in the classroom, involves technology, and calls for accountability at all levels.

Chalk Talk: Educational Jargon: Closure
Closure refers to the culminating activity in a lesson plan. It is often used to sum up or review what was learned. The closure part of a lesson is often skipped—frequently because teachers run out of time. This is not as much of an issue in self-contained elementary classrooms because it is okay for instructional periods to spill over from time to time. However, secondary classrooms and some elementary classes may be cut off by the bell. It is essential that each lesson end with closure. It may last only five minutes, but it is critical in teachers seeing what their students took from the lesson, identifying misunderstandings on the part of students, and tying everything together. If closure does not happen, the teacher moves onto the next lesson the next day without properly wrapping up the prior one. Subsequently, students may lose information they learned from the day before. Closure can also be used as a way for students to reflect upon their learning; for instance, they may be required to write down the three most important things they gained from the lesson.
