Literacy Philosophy |
|
Literacy is the ability to construct meaning and manipulate the language for a
variety of purposes through reading, writing, speaking and listening. The K-12 literacy curriculum integrates the study of reading, writing and speaking and listening to meet the goals identified in the Illinois Learning Standards. The literacy curriculum recognizes the recursiveness of literacy skills. Thus, the curriculum provides increasingly sophisticated content and fosters increased independence of the learner. The K-12 curriculum encourages students to become knowledgeable, reflective
citizens who possess a life-long passion for learning.

Mathematics Philosophy |
|
Mathematics is a universal language that allows us to make sense of fundamental
principles, thoughts, ideas patterns, problems, and phenomena surrounding us and
to communicate our understanding and resolutions of these concepts to others. In
order, to develop and enrich student understanding of mathematics, District 203
will provide a comprehensive and cohesive mathematics curriculum in which
mathematical topics are explored and analyzed with significant depth. The environment in every mathematics classroom will provide the following: active and responsible engagement in the learning of mathematics, an atmosphere of risk taking, in-depth investigation and analysis of intriguing situations and problems, ample opportunities for reflection and interaction, and connections to everyday life. Instruction in every mathematics classroom will provide a rich variety of cognitively appropriate strategies and resources so that all students have opportunities to experience both success and challenge. As a result of this curriculum, environment and instruction, District 203
students will experience the utility power, and beauty of mathematics as
they become proficient in using and applying fundamental mathematical concepts
and skills including: computation, critical thinking, reasoning, and resourceful
problem solving.
