high school and being prepared for post secondary
schools.
• Prepares students to succeed in a competitive work
force environment.
• Define what students should know and be able to do
at each grade level
How is it different?

•
More emphasis on use of knowledge
Less worksheets and more doing
Greater emphasis on real-world application
More open-ended questions
Problem solving that requires students to
evaluate and determine best answers/solutions
Our Focus Is On
English Language Arts/Literacy
• Building knowledge through content-rich
nonfiction

• Regular practice with complex text and its
academic language

Open-ended questions encourage learning
Asking open-ended questions give children opportunities to
use an expanded vocabulary and we can check for
understanding.
An answer to an open-ended
question gives us a window into
our students thinking process.

What can you do as parent(s)?
• View common core standards to get a feel for what your
child will be learning {School website/download App for
Common Core Standards by Mastery Connect}
• Encourage your child to research a topic {using
informational texts and original documents}.
• As your child read, ask in-depth why and how questions.
Example, read three different versions of Goldilocks and the
Three Bears and ask your child to compare and contrast.
What can you do as parent(s)?
• Homework: Ask him/her how this might be used in
“real life”.” Examples of how you would use the
concepts your learning at school in your own everyday
life. (i.e. grocery shopping, work, and paying bills)
• Ask your child to explain or show how they’re solving
problems.
• As your child completes homework, help them focus in
on the most important aspects and core concepts.
