Washington Terrace District Curriculum Used in Our In-Home Tutoring Programs
The Weber School District follows the Utah Core Standards. The Utah Core is based on the Common Core State Standards, which is a program designed by educators and based on the best educational research to prepare students to be able to solve problems and apply skills from their education to success in college and careers. Integration of subjects is key to the Weber County curriculum. Although students are taught in distinct subject areas, and gain a well-rounded education in both academic and career-preparation subjects, the curriculum as a whole is designed to help students see the connections between skills and subject areas.
We currently cover the following Washington Terrace-area school district: Weber School District.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Washington Terrace District Curriculum
Reading skills are taught beginning in kindergarten, and by third grade, students are using them not just in Language Arts classes, but to read informational texts for their Science and Social Studies classes. Similarly, math skills are taught both with an emphasis on the connections between different mathematical concepts and with an emphasis on what problems those mathematical skills can solve.
This emphasis on integration continues at the junior high and high school level. Math from seventh through tenth grade is taught in integrated courses, where students prepare for and then learn algebra and geometry at the same time to reinforce connections. The Common Core sets a goal that 70% of reading in high school should be informational texts. The Social Studies core guidelines are a subset of the Language Arts guidelines, and focus on how students can use their reading, writing, and analytic skills in dealing with Social Studies topics.

Chalk Talk: Look for Math Everywhere
Often students think math is an unimportant topic, and that it doesn’t directly relate to their lives. Show them just how wrong they are by pointing out areas where math is used in professional and personal circumstances. Help them understand how businesses set prices for their merchandise, and how they make decisions about their financial health. Introduce them to personal budgeting, or even doing your taxes. Baking, sewing, and other forms of crafting require the ability to manage fractions and measurements, including making alterations while still keeping the structure intact—a clear use of geometry and algebra skills with important results. Once students understand that math matters, they’ll be more enthusiastic to figure out what they’re learning in their classes.
