Shelby District and Curriculum
Cleveland County Schools core values include placing a primary focus on student learning and development, providing a safe learning environment, creating meaningful partnerships to benefit students’ education, challenging students to reach their maximum potential, having high expectations for students and teachers, and using data to drive decision making. Cleveland County Schools utilize the Common Core State Standards for language arts and math and the rewritten N.C. Essential Standards in the other content areas. The Common Core State Standards allow students to make more connections between topics in each discipline, gain a deeper and more meaningful understanding of content, and become more prepared for college and their careers.

Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Shelby District Curriculum
In Math, students learn concepts in much greater detail, acquiring a better conceptual understanding, mastery of procedural skills, and ability to apply the information to the real world. This curriculum meets both statewide and national standards in education, using realistic scenarios to teach children about numbers, geometry, algebra, and data analysis. Advanced Placement classes in Calculus and Statistics are available for high school students to earn dual credit for high school and college.
In English language arts, students learn vocabulary terms in greater depth as they use these words in various contexts, use textual evidence to support their responses, and read an equal abundance of informational texts and literature. After establishing the basic ability to read and comprehend more complicated texts, students are introduced to literature, both from around the world, including classics and mythology, and great works from renowned American writers. The goal is for students to be able to utilize all the strategies they learn in many texts and contexts.

Chalk Talk: Abstract of a Middle School Social Studies Lesson
The following is an overview of a fifth grade social studies lesson. The project centers on social studies content: family history and nationality. The learners are about ten to eleven years old and are in fifth grade. The entire project will take one and a half months to complete. There are three learning goals. The first is that the students will gain an understanding of several cultural aspects of a country that represents their nationality as well as those of many other countries. Secondly, the students will improve their presentation skills. Lastly, the students will develop their research skills. There are also five objectives.
