Salem District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
Nebo School District structures its curriculum on the Utah Core Standards, which are the local articulation of the Common Core State Standards. The Common Core is a curricular effort designed to make sure that students who graduate from high school will be ready for college or careers. The Common Core is designed to be a cumulative and progressive curriculum, meaning that students build advanced skills on a firm foundation of basic skills learned early in their educational careers.
We currently cover the following Salem-area school district: Nebo School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Salem District Curriculum
In Language Arts, this means that students are not merely taught to read in kindergarten and first grade, but are asked to explain the parts of a story, to express opinions, and to write about what they are reading even in the early grades. As students’ reading skills improve, they are asked to use information from literary and informational texts to support arguments, and to use evidence to substantiate their positions. By high school, students are reading large volumes of informational texts to support learning in all areas.
Mathematics is taught with an emphasis on understanding the concepts behind mathematical principles, rather than rote performance of operations. This means an emphasis on visualization, through charts, drawings, and manipulatives, as well as word problems, where students translate situations into mathematical equations. By sixth grade, students are working with variables, so that when they begin studying algebra and geometry in ninth grade they are very familiar with it.

Chalk Talk: Career Skills In All Classes
Many students take specific classes because they believe they will help them meet their career goals. This is a good plan, because high schools are offering more and more options for professional exploration before graduation. However, the skills learned in core classes, like critical reading, problem solving, and mathematical literacy are also essential for career preparation. Students should aim for a balance of subjects, making sure they build these important core skills while still exploring other professional interests. Remember that most careers require a post-high-school certification or degree; make sure that your courses are preparing you for the entrance requirements for those programs, as well as for the career itself.
