Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Valley Center District Curriculum

The curriculum stresses critical thinking and reading and analytical writing skills as well as science literacy and problem solving skills. Students read myriad texts in different forms and genres, from digital to hardcopy, novels, nonfiction, poetry, and short fiction. Students are given guiding questions and read for understanding as well as structure. Students form opinions and gather evidence to support these opinions. They write analytical essays using evidence and participate in discussions and oral presentations.

Students are also offered many extracurricular opportunities, ranging from sports and performing and visual arts to music and academic clubs. There are also academic clubs that allow students to participate in academic competitions like Speech and Debate competitions, the Math Bowl, or Science Olympiad. Community service is also encouraged in the hopes that students will become engaged in their school and with their peers and will grow to be engaged and active in their community when they are older.

Chalk Talk: Resumes for College Applications

A college resume is a one-page list of extracurricular activities. They’re very useful for college admissions committees because they’re easy reference tools. There isn’t a set format for resumes, but some elements should be the same. For example, the student’s name and contact info should be centered at the top of the page. The rest of the page should be divided into sections. These sections contain the activities, grouped according to theme. It’s a good idea to make these themes as telling as possible, to get the most “bang for your buck.” So, instead of having a section with sports and another with clubs, have one with leadership activities, which might include some clubs and some sports. At first, students might think that a page is a lot of fill, but the reality is that a page fills up quickly, and only the most significant activities will fit.
