Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Waterloo District Curriculum
Mathematics instruction in Waterloo Community Schools, as prescribed by Iowa Core Standards, teaches students to use reasoning and problem solving to their advantage. Across grade levels and schools, students learn to get creative about finding different ways of solving problems, reasoning abstractly, and making use of patterns.
Each level of Science instruction in Waterloo Community Schools teaches science as inquiry, urging students to form observations, questions and conclusions about the environment, biology and natural laws. By high school, students become familiar with designing and conducting scientific experiments and using math in their science studies.
Students can expect to become college and career ready through the Language Arts, History and Social Studies curriculum provided by the schools. Each grade level’s instruction emphasizes creating well-formed written and spoken communication.

Chalk Talk: How to Choose a Tutor
Selecting a tutor can be a big step in the right direction. Individual tutoring can sometimes give students the extra help they need to pull ahead or salvage falling grades. Parents can help their children pick a great tutor using the following general guidelines: Talk to your child about why you think tutoring is a good idea, and what you hope they can accomplish with the tutor's help. Make sure your child and the tutor are a good fit. Ensure that the tutor has some experience working with clients that are the same age as your child. Set tutoring goals and request a plan of action for learning. Schedule sessions during your child's optimal learning hours and monitor your child's progress to ensure that the established academic milestones are being met.
