Tempe District and Curriculum
Tempe area schools, although independently-run school districts, follow the standards of the Arizona Department of Education whose mission is twofold. First, every child must perform at grade level or above in mathematics, reading, writing, science and social studies, and secondly, every child must be prepared for high school and beyond. Arizona has been successful in extending English Language Arts Common Core Standards across the curriculum to include the subjects of History, Science, Social Studies and Technology. Its purpose is to ensure that students are ready for college or career upon high school graduation. This broad-based methodology develops important skills in not only reading and writing, but essential communication skills of listening and speaking.

Chalk Talk: The Benefits of Early Detection of Learning Disabilities
It is important that if a parent is concerned about their child's progress, or if a teacher in school, camp or after-school activity
notices something out of the ordinary that they speak up. Oftentimes, when a child is having difficulty with a task at school, they
get easily frustrated. Teachers may begin to notice behavior problems from that child in his effort to avoid doing the work that
frustrates him. Studies have shown that many young children in the early pre-school years, who may have a delay in language
development, fine and gross motor abilities or attention, very often are diagnosed with a learning disability later on in school.
Detecting the problem early is essential to the child's success. Parents should not wait for negative behaviors to show, or for that
child to fail. It is important to detect any issues, have the child assessed or obtain a diagnosis and begin an appropriate program
or intervention.
