If you’ve ever wondered about what skills students are expected to have mastered by the end of a particular school year, HISD has the answers.
The district’s Curriculum Department has created a series of “Literacy and Numeracy Blueprints” in English and Spanish to identify key skills and concepts that students in kindergarten through grade 8 should know.
These documents also suggest a number of ways parents and teachers can support students’ academic success—from reading aloud to kindergarten students to asking eighth-graders for help in comparing sale prices at the grocery store to calculate potential savings.
