Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Strathmore District Curriculum

The math curriculum has become more focused and more rigorous so that students have strong math skills to meet the challenges of 21st learning expectations. The early learning in pattern recognition, shape recognition and measurement, probability and ratios paves the way for more advanced topics. Math studies in high school take a more complex turn, with algebra, geometry, probability, statistics, and trigonometry as some of the advanced coursework available.

Within the health and wellness focus, students devise plans for staying active and healthy, including commitments to eat right, make positive personal decisions, and respect others in the context of physical fitness. In the context of sports and play, students acquire the ability to communicate well with others, take personal responsibility for actions, and gain respect for others. Game play also allows children to learn individual responsibility, ethical behavior, and teamwork. These social skills are an important component of students’ everyday lives.

Chalk Talk: Methods of Teaching Reading

A common technique for reading instruction is whole-word, or sight-based, instruction. This approach involves teaching students as many words as possible that they can identify by “sight” (automatically) without the need to decode them, as many words cannot be decoded. A third technique is the integrated anthology approach, which incorporates stories from basal readers. Next, many experts and teachers advocate a language experience approach (LEA). The main goal is that everything children read allow them to make meaning. This involves students dictating a story about something that interests them, and the teacher writing it down and reading it with the class. Finally, the literature-based approach is built around fiction and nonfiction texts. Most classrooms use a balanced literacy approach that incorporates all of these things.
