Plano District and Curriculum
The schools believe in maintaining high, clear, uniform academic standards in order to improve college and career readiness for all students, regardless of their individual learning style and needs. The school provides clear expectations for what students should learn in English language arts and mathematics at each grade level so that students are prepared for success in college and the workforce. Students are encouraged to take an active role in their own educational experiences and to become involved in extra-curricular activities as well.
We currently cover the following Plano-area school district: Plano Community Unit School District #88.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Plano District Curriculum
Plano CUSD believes in emphasizing depth of study over breadth, ensuring students have a fuller understanding of foundational concepts. It also emphasizes applying knowledge to real world situations in order to better prepare students for the challenges facing them after graduation in our increasingly global economy, whether they pursue post-secondary education or directly enter the work force.
The district teaches students to become lifelong, engaged learners who are prepared for global trends and changes, who respect and aren’t intimidated by diversity, and who take personal responsibility for their own educations as well as their actions. It is essential that students become adaptive learners and global thinkers, as well as responsible citizens. The district curriculum recognizes that students will need to be able to adapt to new technologies and changes to society that are brought about by such changes, and prepare students to meet this goal.

Chalk Talk: Who to Ask for a Recommendation
Most colleges require 1-3 teacher recommendations, and even ones that don’t require them will accept them and read them. Recommendations are most effective when they are written by a classroom teacher the applicant has had in junior or senior year, usually either in a core subject (math, science, English) or one that falls in line with the applicant’s future major. Many students will seek out “celebrity” recommendations, those provided by a high-ranking school official, a college alum, or someone like that, but these are rarely of any real help. First off, these people haven’t actually taught the student, so their opinion is usually pretty vague and unsupported. Secondly, these people often don’t actually hold as much weight as the student might think. Also, it’s important to keep in mind that admissions offices are flooded with application materials and are extremely busy. Sending them multiple recommendations that don’t actually say anything of value takes time away from other parts of your application packet that are probably much more valuable.
