Peabody District and Curriculum
Peabody Public Schools are comprised of ten schools and just over 6,000 students. There are eight elementary schools (K-5), one middle school, and a high school. The district’s mission is to help all students reach their academic and creative potential through a diversified curriculum. The academic program is based on Common Core Standards and Massachusetts Frameworks for Learning in other subjects, all of which provide a rigorous set of learning objectives that guide student achievement.
We currently cover the following Peabody-area school district: Peabody Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Peabody District Curriculum
In the elementary schools, the Journey’s Reading Program is used; all of its texts and materials align 100 percent with the Common Core Standards, which will be fully implemented within the district in the 2014-15 school year. Also, in reading, a balanced literacy approach is used within a daily literacy block. During that time, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension are all emphasized through guided reading and writing, writing workshops, interactive writing, independent reading, and shared reading and writing.
In high school, the literature courses provide students with the chance to develop analytic strategies that will be used in all their learning. Students learn how to recognize the purpose of texts, understand language and tone as well as develop these tools in their own writing. Students are instructed in research skills, how to reference sources and properly cite them, and how to incorporate other people’s ideas into their own work. Presentation, listening and speaking skills are also emphasized and students use technology to enhance presentations.

Chalk Talk: The Instructional Technology Specialist Certificate
Many universities are beginning to offer programs that allow education majors to obtain certifications in instructional technology (grades K-12). Teaching candidates should consider going such a route for various reasons. First, they are often built within the current education program that students are already working through instead of being a dual major, so students do not have to be concerned with the workload. The certification typically requires that students take a few courses, which oftentimes can be slotted in as electives. Also, basic instructional technology courses are increasingly becoming mandatory for teaching candidates anyway, so they may have a head start in proceeding through the instructional technology program. Having this additional certification may increase the likelihood of beginning teachers being hired, which can be difficult in many locations. It shows that the candidate has the skills to implement instructional technology in classrooms and can help their colleagues in doing so as well.
