Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Uniondale District Curriculum
Uniondale’s world languages curriculum focuses on the development of communication skills and cross-cultural understanding. Listening and speaking skills are acquired, which allows students to provide or ask for information, socialize, express feelings and opinions, and otherwise communicate in a new language. To do this, students develop the ability to comprehend simple words, phrases, and other structures. In extended conversations, students work on identifying the main idea and develop strategies for identifying unfamiliar words or phrases using the context of the conversation. These strategies include repetition, rephrasing, and nonverbal cues.
Cultural awareness is part of the world languages curriculum as well. Students develop an understanding that communication goes beyond just words, and that perceptions, gestures, and family or community dynamics can impact the manner in which a message is conveyed or received. Language learners engage in activities that allow them to develop an appreciation for the appropriate gestures when speaking to or greeting someone, as well as the appropriate physical distance one should be when engaging in conversation.

Chalk Talk: Why Mentoring Programs Work
Mentoring programs have been implemented in many school districts as an intervention to reduce the number of students that drop out of school. The highest dropout rate is among freshmen, so most mentoring programs target that age group. These programs work for a number of reasons. First, mentoring gets freshmen connected to other students, both within their grade and the grades above them. By building a community of kids, students are much less likely to feel isolated and alone, while feelings of connectedness and belonging increase. Second, mentoring programs have been shown to significantly reduce absenteeism. The more a child is in school, the more likely he or she is to stay on top of their work and be successful. Lastly, mentorship programs help students build academic and life skills that some kids may lack upon entrance into high school. Students learn how to study for exams and how to take notes, as well as how to communicate effectively and resolve problems in an appropriate manner.
