Webster District and Curriculum
Webster Public Schools is a rather small school district with three schools and almost 2,000 students. There is an elementary school with grades K-2, a middle school with grades 3-6, and a junior-senior high school with grades 7-12. The district advertises a simple slogan on its homepage: “Every Classroom. Every Student. Every Day.” The schools follow Common Core and Massachusetts State Frameworks to oversee teaching and learning in all subject areas. This curriculum is aligned to the assessments students take in reading, writing, math and science.
We currently cover the following Webster-area school district: Webster Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Webster District Curriculum
The Language Arts curriculum has been designed to clearly support communication and literacy skills in all subject areas. Webster Middle School’s literacy coach has compiled a list of websites that comply with the school’s four literacy initiatives for the school’s teachers to use. These include articles from the popular educational journal The Reading Teacher. These articles focus on fluency and “endurance,” meaning the ability for one to read with the proper accuracy, rate, expression, and comprehension over a long period of time.
Character education is an important emphasis, as is technology literacy and preparation for living in the 21st century. Grade level standards and benchmarks ensure that students have the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in all aspects of life. By participating in this curriculum, students acquire the tools they need to communicate ideas and information necessary for educational success.

Chalk Talk: What Do Eighth Graders Learn in ELA?
In English language arts, eighth graders must analyze how particular lines and dialogues in texts contribute to events, characters, and decisions made. They must also analyze two different texts, determining how their individual structures distinguish their meanings and style as well as how differing points-of-view impact suspense and humor. Students will also compare and contrast modern works with traditional texts such as myths and the Bible. They will evaluate film adaptations of books and form an opinion as to whether or not they stayed true to their printed counterparts. Eighth grade students must not only be able to cite textual evidence but also be able to pull out the evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says. They must identify and analyze multiple texts that provide conflicting information on the same topic. With guidance from peers and teachers, students should make changes to their writing if purpose and audience are not well-addressed. They should be able to conduct research on self-generated questions.
