Westlake District and Curriculum
The curriculum in Westlake aligns itself with Core Standards and is rapidly changing to implement it where appropriate for skill development. The curriculum from Kindergarten to Grade 12 involves the common core subjects such as English Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies and Physical Education, Fine Arts, and Foreign Languages. The PARCC (Partnership for Assessment and Readiness for College and Careers) Model Content Framework is followed as a supplementation between the Common Core State Standards and the PARCC assessments to help prepare students for college and career.
We currently cover the following Westlake-area school district: Westlake City Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Westlake District Curriculum
English Language Arts from Kindergarten to Grade 12 aims to progressively help students acquire an in-depth understanding of literature and its uses, while helping to identify and explain key ideas and use rich vocabulary to illustrate the practical applications of literary text. Students are asked to recall the main ideas or themes and greater details with respect to making comparisons to plot elements. In middle school and high school, greater emphasis is placed on citing textual evidence to support key ideas.
The Kindergarten math curriculum involves an innovative research based method called subitizing, or looking at clusters or groups that represent numerals which is different than counting. Math in higher grades emphasizes representing and solving problems using algebraic functions, number and operations in base ten, fractions, measurement and data, and geometry. Middle school students focus more on ratios and applying statistics to determine real-world relationships.

Chalk Talk: Teaching Kindergarten Students the Basic Colors
When we think about it, our entire whole world represents so many shapes and colors. We see colors in nature, in rainbows, colors in moving vehicles and in landscapes. Children need to be taught to identify colors even before Kindergarten so that they are prepared for understanding and relating to the world around them. Every child knows that the color of the sun represents yellow while the grass is green and the sky is blue. However children can be taught to go deeper into tapping into their creative imaginations by learning pastel colors and how blended colors work. Orange and green for instance make up yellow. Red and blue produce a wonderful purple hue. Later, children may learn a deeper significance to color by learning about the chakras or energy points in the body such as green color expresses healing and love and yellow the seat of our solar plexus allows immense creativity. Learning the basic colors is only the tip of the iceberg. What is important is how children relate to their precise meaning and how they apply that meaning and significance to their lives.
