The 21st Century Skills curriculum covers political science and civic literacy, financial literacy, health literacy, technological literacy, and employability skills.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Red Oak District Curriculum

At Red Oak, each content area’s curriculum undergoes a seven-year review cycle. Year one focuses on researching the latest practices and designing curriculum maps, year two in writing and selecting a curriculum to implement, year three on implementing the selected curriculum, year four on evaluating its effectiveness and examining assessment data, year five on making adjustments and revisions to the curriculum as needed, and years six and seven on monitoring student achievement and maintaining the curriculum.

Each content area rotates through the process so that not all subjects’ curricula are in the same stage of the review cycle in a given year. Most recently, this process has brought about two significant changes in the curriculum. The first is the increased emphasis on informational texts in language arts. The goal is for students to be able to critically read and discuss information received through books. Another change is an increased amount of engineering concepts embedded in the science curriculum to prepare students for 21st century careers.

Chalk Talk: Children’s Literature Spotlight

In How the Reindeer Saved Santa, written by Carolyn Haywood and illustrated by Victor Ambrus, Santa thought his sleigh was getting too old, so he gave it to the museum and ordered a helicopter. He also put his reindeer out to pasture. On the night of Christmas Eve, he lost the key to the helicopter and had no way of getting to the children’s homes. The reindeer heard his cries and flew the helicopter, with Santa sitting on one of the reindeer. Santa realized both that modern day day technology isn't always the best and—more importantly—that he can always rely on his reindeer and eventually asked for his sleigh back.
