Summerlin District and Curriculum
The Clark County School District is adopting Common Core Standards in Math and Language Arts, and use standards-based frameworks in other subjects. The Literacy/Language Arts curriculum teaches reading and writing skills that are designed to provide students with skills that will be used in all other courses taken during their school years. The Math curriculum builds upon a foundation of numeracy, operational sense, pattern awareness, and shape recognition to prepare students for higher math.
We currently cover the following Summerlin-area school district: Clark County School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Summerlin District Curriculum
Mathematics skills begin with students counting objects and learning to recognize written numbers. Students learn basic algebra skills by using objects to count, add and subtract. They also learn basic geometry skills by learning shapes and sorting and categorizing them by shape and color. Math skills become increasingly more complex in each grade, with the district goal being to prepare students to use math to analyze and solve problems presented to them, and to use these skills in real life situations. Students are prepared to be able to compete for good jobs in the careers of their choice.
In Literacy/Language Arts, kindergarten students learn the alphabet and the recognition and sounds of letters. Through the use of Phonic, students learn to sound out words. Each grade following builds literacy and language arts skills on skills learned in the previous grade. In high school, students learn critical thinking skills and writing skills across different disciplines.

Chalk Talk: The Importance of Teacher/Student Communication
Teachers need to learn good communication skills to use with their students. Communication is a crucial matter for student academic and social success in school. It is so important for teachers to really listen to students when there are concerns. When a problem arises, too much attention should not be drawn to it, instead it should be handled privately. Attention of an individual should be gotten quietly, then the conversation should be private. That student will so appreciate not being embarrassed in front of the class. Students need a safe outlet and they will be more likely to discuss problems instead of misbehaving. This type of communication shows students that they are respected.
