Epistemological Foundations

The Chariho Regional School District believes that students learn best when they are actively engaged in and personally responsible for the learning process. Students need a safe and positive environment in which to talk purposefully about learning, to experience learning, and to observe learning. Learning is enhanced when students have an interest in and choice about what they learn. Students should be engaged in meaningful learning experiences that match their developmental status.

New learning builds on previous knowledge through a process that is challenging and rigorous. That process must encourage students to problem-solve and to think originally, critically, and creatively. Thinking and problem-solving are closely linked to a demanding core of content knowledge. Learning is most quickly assimilated when connected to student goals, when students evaluate their own work and learning habits, and when instruction appeals to a variety of learning modalities and talents.

In an environment of high expectations, sustained and directed student effort and expert teaching practices determine the extent of learning. Our schools and district will organize to encourage and support both.


Introduction
The Chariho K-12 Mathematics Curriculum is being developed so that instruction offered is aligned with national mathematics standards. The new curriculum will provide students with the highest quality and most comprehensive mathematical understandings possible so that they will be afforded a wide variety of career and educational options. The curriculum will also provide an overview for new and veteran teachers.

District Mission

The Chariho Regional School District ensures that all students meet high academic standards and are prepared for lifelong learning and productive global citizenship.
