Norwell District and Curriculum
Norwell Public Schools slogan is “21st century schools for 21st century students.” Norwell Public Schools have adopted the Common Core Standards for use in English language arts and math. In addition to the other content areas being embedded into these standards, the district utilizes state frameworks and standards for social studies, science, and the arts. The district has developed “power standards” for each grade level and content area. The Common Core Standards are written in a way so that parents may understand them and define the critical understandings and skills students must gain by the end of the year in each subject.
We currently cover the following Norwell-area school district: Norwell Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Norwell District Curriculum
The standards for English language arts include “be matched to appropriate texts” (kindergarten), “know and use strategies to read fluently…” (grade 1), “read and comprehend informational texts…” (grade 2), “use new vocabulary in conversations and writing” (grade 3), “write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences…” (grade 4), and “write opinion pieces and support point of view with reasons and information” (grade 5). During middle school, students will be called upon to provide analysis of the texts they read.
The high school English language arts curriculum has a reading strand that includes U.S. and world classics and requires that students are able to construct analytic meaning from the texts they read. It also introduces students to journalism, editorial writing, and other genres that help develop their academic writing skills. There is a strong emphasis on providing coherent support throughout essays. Students are taught the proper methods to use and reference literary and reference works, and learn how to incorporate others ideas into their own writing.

Chalk Talk: What Should My Senior Project Be?
Most high school seniors in the U.S. are required to complete some form of "senior project" as a culminating exit project. Schools vary in their requirements; for example, some may have students simply shadow professionals in a career they are interested in, while others may permit students to choose whatever topic they want (with approval, of course). Most of these projects are long-term and involve a presentation component. Students who have a lot of freedom to decide have many options, but it is most important that they choose something interesting to them and which they are passionate about. They may choose to partake in learning a new skill, such as learning a new language, cooking ethnic food, playing a musical instrument, etc. Similarly, they may build something new or invent something that can greatly help people. They may organize and conduct a community service project or event.
