Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Schenectady District Curriculum
The new Common Curriculum Standards were devised to ensure that all public schools are offering the same quality educational experience to their students. The Language Arts curriculum is geared toward teaching students to read, write, listen, speak and effectively master the language. The focus is on developing literacy skills and the ability to show reading comprehension through progressively more advanced reading material. Analyzing and evaluating research material is stressed in the older grades.
The curriculum for Math is used to produce students who are mathematically literate and can use math skills for real world problem solving. Students begin with basic computational skills, measurements, numbers, and the simple fundamentals of Algebra and Geometry. In High School students take Algebra and Geometry and are encouraged to continue their math education with courses such as Trigonometry and Calculus and Statistics.

For students and parents there is a website sponsored by National Geographic that has all the Grimm's Fairy Tales in digitized form for reading the stories together. The site has all twelve original stories and is based on the original English translation made in 1914. The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm include Hansel & Gretel, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Little Snow White, The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids, The Frog King, The Bremen Town Musicians, Little Red Cap, and Little Briar Rose. These are the original stories and older students may find them interesting to compare to the watered down stories of their childhood. Some of the stories are accompanied by audio.
