Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Pittsfield District Curriculum
Pittsfield’s Curriculum Department works to align instruction and assessment with a combination of Common Core and state standards. The department emphasizes how curriculum, instruction, and assessment relate to and inform one another in a continuous cyclical process. The standards that are implemented are designed to prepare students for future success in college and the workforce.
The English language arts standards are taught with overlap through each grade level and necessitate that students read both fictional and informational texts at a high level. Through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and using language, students should be able to perform various tasks and acquire many skills. The district has an early literacy plan that outlines how schools, the community, and parents can work in conjunction to promote reading skills in very young children, including reading to them, taking them to the library to check out books frequently, providing them with many educational and imaginative toys and activities.

Chalk Talk: What to Expect in College Education Programs
Many young people today are choosing to become educators, but before deciding to pursue this route, they should understand that typical undergraduate education programs at universities are much different than most educational settings. In terms of what happens in the university classrooms, education professors generally do not lecture much, and students will partake in more hands-on activities and work with classmates. There will be fewer written tests—I never had a final exam in an education course—and more writing and projects. Students will write many, many lesson plans and will probably have to teach a few lessons in front of their peers. In the first two years, they will receive more generalized education courses, but by their junior year, the classes will be focused toward specific majors. Elementary candidates will likely have literacy and math blocks, while, say, an English education major will take several English courses.
