Curriculum Components
We work to provide opportunities for every student to develop the knowledge and
skills essential to:
English Language Arts
Read with comprehension, write
effectively, and communicate
successfully in a variety of ways and
settings and with a variety of audiences
Health and Fitness
Develop a life-long routine of
healthy living, goal setting, and
on-going physical activity
Mathematics
Know and apply the core concepts and
principles of mathematics, fact fluency,
content skills, problem solving
Cross Content Thinking Skills
Think analytically, logically, and
creatively, and to integrate
technology literacy and fluency as
well as different experiences and
knowledge to form reasoned
judgments and solve problems
Science
Engage in learning the basic beginning
concepts of physical and life sciences,
systems, and science practices
Social Studies
Understand the foundations of
community, history, civics, different
culture, participation in representative
government, and geography
College and Career Readiness
Understand the importance of work
and finance and how performance,
effort, and decisions directly affect
future career and educational
opportunities.
◦ ELL (Federal & State Grants)
◦ Title I (Federal Grant)
◦ Learning Assistance (State Grant)
◦ Highly Capable (State Grants)
Serve over 2,300 students through either content
based instruction or pull-out models. Content
based instruction integrates English language development with
academic content learning using English as the language of instruction.
Approximately 1000 students are served through this program. Pull out
model provides small group instruction by specifically trained staff in
the field of second language acquisition and strategies with the focus of
supporting English language development. Approximately 1,300
students are served through this program.
Provide assistance to students in grades 5-12
at greatest risk of not meeting standards;
particularly content areas of English Reading,
Mathematics and Writing. Schools must design a
program to focus Title I services on children who are failing, or most at
risk of failing, to meet state academic standards as measured by State or
National Assessments. School programs must use instructional strategies
based on scientifically based research and implement parental involvement
activities. Title I programs at the building level are usually small group
pull-out models. Approximately 1430 students are assisted in Title I
programs annually. Title I is a Federally funded grant.
Provide services to approximately 1620
eligible students in grades K-4 who need
academic support for reading, writing and math,
or who need readiness skills to learn these core
subjects. With special emphasis on reading literacy in the early grades,
schools use their state LAP funds to deliver supplemental services that
give these students the strong start they need for academic success.
Schools may design programs models that are either small group “pullout”, “push-in”, or one-on-one. Program services may be provided
during the school day, before or after the school day, and/or beyond the
regular school year for example summer school. Students receive LAP
services in addition to their Basic Education Program in Reading, Writing,
and Mathematics.
Provide students with the opportunity accelerate their
learning and challenge students. Auburn has two types
of program services. PACE (Programs for Accelerated
and Clustered Education) services are offered at local
schools in a general education setting. STEP (Student
Teacher Enrichment Program) is a self contained
program offered at Terminal Park to 4th and 5th
district-wide who qualify for the STEP model.
