Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Upton District Curriculum

The curriculum revolves around 21st century skills outcomes, such as access to tools and resources, the cultivation of creativity and innovation, a social and emotional connection, informative assessments, and a relevant and applied curriculum. Nipmuc Regional High has three expectations of students with regards to 21st century learning skills, and each of these is further explained in a rubric that outlines characteristics of a student who is advanced, proficient, developing, and is receiving a warning to improve their skills in the area.

The first expectation is for students to clearly communicate for the targeted audience. Next, students should be able to solve problems and use higher order thinking skills. Lastly, they are expected to use technology to access information, enhance their creativity, and collaborate with others. By mastering these developmental and academic areas, students are prepared to meet the expectations of college and the workforce. The goal is to ensure students have the personal confidence to work independently or collaboratively on meaningful learning.

Chalk Talk: What Does an Athletic Director Do?

Although athletic directors are not very involved in academics, they play an important role in school districts. They have a daunting job, as they oversee all athletic programs and sports teams in the district. They create athletic schedules and are in charge of equipment for all the sports programs. They may give their input as to coaches who should be hired or fired. They may face a lot of pressure from parents who may want coaches fired because of their treatment of their child on a team. Athletic directors have the responsibility of making sure all teams are created as equally as possible. This is a challenge, as there will be more money set aside for and fanfare around the boys' football team than, say, the girls' volleyball team.
