Portland District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The curriculum at the Gregory-Portland Independent School District allows the students to enter the world with confidence that they have an education that prepares them for the world. When creating the curriculum the members of the school made sure that it included input from the staff and community and that it included the standards set in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. There is also a clear set of 21st century learning expectations that guide student learning throughout their education.
We currently cover the following Portland-area school district: Gregory-Portland Independent School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Portland District Curriculum
The Language Arts curriculum ensures that students have a vocabulary that increases in difficulty as they mature. In the early years students are introduced to words that are single syllabic. Each week they learn new words. By the time they are in middle and high school the students have built a toolbox of words that they are able to use in their oral or written work. They are then capable of filling out applications using the words that they need to fit the purpose.
The study of government is part of the Social Studies curriculum. This study is a continuous one from the early years through graduation. Students are first shown the people that are in authority throughout different segments of their lives: teachers, parents, government leaders and more. They then begin to study the ruling bodies of the state and then the nation. Throughout this time they learn about the history of the United States government including the Constitution and Federalism. They also find out the role that time segments play, such as the Civil Rights Movement.

Chalk Talk: Building Reading Skills for Studying
When children enter middle school, quite often, expectations are they will know how to study. They are expected to have developed a level of self-guidance and independence that allows them to work on one task for an extended time. This may not be the case. With a little help from their parents, though, they will soon be on their way. First, parents should show their children to think about the title of a book or the chapter. This will help them to look for information that reinstates the information. Next, children need to be shown how to read with a purpose. First they should read a chapter, looking for important points and think about the key idea, and sift out details. Now they can read the chapter again with these ideas in mind. By helping a children with these skills, parents are giving them tools they can use throughout their lives.
