Portage District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The Portage Community School District (PCSD) serves students from 4-year-old kindergarten to grade 12. The 4K program exists throughout the community, including Endeavor Elementary School. In addition to traditional educational opportunities, the PCSD also offers residents a public charter high school experience at Portage Academy. The PCSD has created a curriculum to meet the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) standards, while meeting the needs of individual students. The elementary curriculum focuses on building a core academic foundation, with courses in math, reading, science, social studies, and writing. These curricula support the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards and integrate a variety of research-based instructional programs.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Portage District Curriculum
The middle school curriculum promotes the unique learning needs of young adolescents. By combining core academic instruction with exploratory options, staff at Wayne E. Bartels Middle School (BMS) work toward preparing students for high school achievement. Grades 6-8 are required to take various levels of English language arts, science, social studies, and mathematics. As students progress through high school, their elective options expand, with selections such as art, computer basics, technology education, music, agriculture education, health, Spanish, physical education and music.

Chalk Talk: The Importance of Teaching Students about Plagiarism
Plagiarism is an increasingly more difficult problem for schools to address. Information is abundant, free (mostly), and immediate. For students who have only known the technological world of the 21st century, plagiarism may seem petty or even meaningless, but copyright infringement is a serious matter. If academia hopes to exist, it must protect its property; therefore, it is essential to teach children what plagiarism is, how to avoid it, and how to create proper documentation during research. If students don’t know what plagiarism is, they will cut and paste anything they read. Teachers, and even parents, must show students the importance of intellectual property and giving credit. Students should strive for independent thinking and creativity, and they should know when to admit their work is not their own. Plagiarism instruction can include short lessons on summarizing, quoting, and paraphrasing. Many times, plagiarism is committed by accident, so students should be encouraged to label all information during research. Their notes should include the author, date, location, and any other pertinent information for a works cited/bibliography.
