Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Traverse City District Curriculum
The Science curriculum introduces students to topics in earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and engineering. Students learn about how scientists conduct their work through processes of discovery or by trying to find a solution to a challenge. Students learn how to conduct lab experiments, learn by trial and error, and report their observations and findings. They also are required to read scientific texts and develop their scientific literacy so they can apply it in real world situations.
The mathematics curriculum at Traverse City Schools help students become proficient in using numbers and equations. The students begin by using manipulatives to help understand counting. They then move on to simple addition and subtraction and learn about more complex numbers like fractions. By the middle grades the students have progressed to solving equations with missing factors. In high school, the students have the opportunity to master advanced algebra, geometry and calculus which will help them in science and engineering courses.

Chalk Talk: Early Preparation for College
When thinking about college, it is difficult to know where to begin. Even if a student is not interested in the traditional four-year post-graduation education, it would be helpful for them to consider a two-year course so they can have a better chance of succeeding in the job market. Some high schools offer programs called tech-prep, school-to-career, or similar names which are worthwhile to look into. If a four-year education is the choice, students need to consider taking as many science and mathematics courses that they can. Quite often this is the area that admission offices look at when making decisions. They also consider extracurricular activities, including any volunteering or awards. It is never too early to begin to help a child prepare for success in entering the college of their choice.
