Vidor District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The Vidor Independent School District uses the curriculum adopted by the state and referred to as the Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge curriculum. This covers all academic subjects and provides a series of learning objectives that students must meet at each grade level in each subject. The subjects are broken down into their major topics – such as in English, the curriculum describes the benchmark skills that students will develop in reading, writing, conducting research, and listening and discussing. By high school, the expectations require more analytic thought and deeper investigation into the topics. There are also rigorous career education courses that help students develop specific career skills as well as prepare them for life in a professional environment.
We currently cover the following Vidor-area school district: Vidor Independent School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Vidor District Curriculum
The Math curriculum emphasizes numeracy and operational sense, algebraic thinking and symbolic reasoning, geometric relationships and spatial reasoning, and pre-Calculus which draws upon the base in both algebra and geometry. Advanced courses include Statistics, Advanced Quantitative Reasoning, and Discrete Mathematics. There are both Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate math courses available to students who want to be prepared for college math, science, and engineering courses. Some students may also opt for concurrent courses in math at local colleges.
The English language arts curriculum emphasizes the skills involved in writing for analytic, persuasive, expository, and creative writing. Students are taught to use a process that involves brainstorming and drafting an essay or story before finally writing the final version. The student should write and edit, several times. At times it is a good idea to write a draft, step away for a little while and then come back and edit. With a good balance of heart and wording, the student’s essay will appear more polished. Language development, including grammar and vocabulary, are also a part of the writing curriculum so that students are adept at writing.

Chalk Talk: Staying Motivated During Your Senior Year
Some students may know early on which college they will attend, but should be careful not to let senioritis kick in. They should still take the AP or other challenging courses they had planned to take their last year of high school, as these courses could prepare them for college or even earn them advanced college credits. Future college students should always take math, science, and social studies courses in their senior year, even if they are not required. One final reason to stay motivated during your senior year is that unforeseen circumstances may happen, and you may end up changing your mind about which college you will go to even though you had been 100 percent sure you would attend another one. Therefore, it is in your best interest to keep your senior year transcript looking impressive.
