Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Pittsfield Township District Curriculum
The Language Arts curriculum focuses on the Balanced Literacy approach by combining resources and using a “Me, We, You” methodology. The teacher demonstrates skills during the Read Aloud, gives guided practice during Shared Reading, and supervises during Reader’s Workshop. This scaffolds the expectations ensuring all students get the necessary instruction. Everyday Mathematics is used as the text and builds on standards so that students are thoroughly exposed to the material.
The school districts have many programs in place in the upper grades to help students as well. One of these is the READ180 program that works with students who are below grade level in reading. Students meet daily with a READ180 teacher for smaller group instruction that incorporates a lot of technology. Other opportunities for older students include virtual learning, sports, and academically competitive teams.

Chalk Talk: The Role of an Inclusion Teacher
The title of Inclusion Teacher has only been around for about the past decade since radical changes were made in Special Education. An Inclusion Teacher is a general education teacher whose classroom is comprised of both general education and Special Education students. These professionals collaborate with several different colleagues including the Special Education teacher, Special Education administrator, and other specialists. The Inclusion Teacher, along with these colleagues, analyzes lesson plans and assignments in order to determine if any modifications should be made to help the students. Modifications can range from an easier reading selection to larger print. The Inclusion Teacher then presents the lesson or assignment to the class. In some cases, the Inclusion and Special Education teachers co-teach by taking turns presenting. This collaboration is essential to the success of all the students in the classroom.
