The
Pocatello/Chubbuck School District defines curric curriculum as what students should know and be
able
to do at the end of the school year. The Curriculum Department and teachers
throughout the district have worked to design the curriculum in all subject areas. We believe students, parents,
and teachers have a clear
understanding of the skills students are expected to master at each grade level.
The school district’s curriculum is aligned
with state standards and state testing. The Pocatello/Chubbuck School District is
committed to making sure all of its students are prepared at graduation time for
postsecondary education or the world of work.
Schools have always used tests to measure
student knowledge and progress. To assist teachers and inform parents and the public,
the state and Pocatello/Chubbuck School District have instituted a comprehensive
testing program.
Students in K-3 take the Idaho Reading
Indicator (IRI) three times a year.
Students in grades 3-8 & 10 take the Idaho
Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) in Language, Math, and Reading at least
once
a year.
Students in grades 4, 6, 8 take the Direct
Math Assessment (DMA) once a year.
Students in grades 5, 7, 9 take the Direct
Writing Assessment (DWA) once a year.
Students in grades 7-12 take
End of Course Assessments in the core content subjects each trimester.
