Curriculum

 

  In the East China School District, we believe that quality education is a responsibility shared by home, school, students, and community.  This philosophy makes quality education an exciting, dynamic process as well as a collaborative effort.
   The East China School District has refined its elementary learning standards for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.  These standards define what students are expected to know and be able to do after completing the work for each grade.
   The standards set high expectations for all students and are based upon our conviction that all students can learn and succeed.  The purpose of grade level standards is to communicate to students, parents, and the community exactly what we expect students to learn.  Further, they are designed to challenge students to achieve their highest potential and to encourage them to develop responsibility for their own learning.
   Each East China elementary teacher and administrator worked together in collaborative groups to develop the standards.  National and state standards, as well as local expertise, shaped their direction.  District elementary standards will remain in draft form to allow us to continue to refine them.
