CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION. The academic program and the teaching methodologies that inform the development of the school education program include extended learning time, a uniform instructional system, teaching for mastery, strategies and supports for student mastery of instructional materials, intensive focus on literacy and mathematics, a rigorous, standards-based curriculum, and a character-education curriculum. UPA utilizes Core Knowledge Language Arts (CKLA) for its ELA curriculum, including the CKLA skills strand for grades K–2. CKLA has earned the highest rating in EdReports for all three gateways (a rating of “meets expectations”). Moreover, the curriculum is highly aligned to the principles of the science of learning, which include systematic teaching of phonics and phonemic awareness, vocabulary acquisition, and a knowledge-based curriculum that supports broad reading comprehension. UPA utilizes the knowledge strand of CKLA for social studies in grades K–2 and Core Knowledge History and Geography for social studies in grades 3–5. This curriculum is not currently rated on EdReports but is produced by the same foundation and publisher as CKLA. It is a comprehensive program in world and American history and geography that integrates topics in civics and the arts. Core Knowledge History and Geography helps students build knowledge of the diverse civilizations, cultures, and concepts specified in the Core Knowledge Sequence. To align with the science of reading, this curriculum begins exposing students to rich content even in Kindergarten and builds and spirals into more complex topics as the years progress. UPA utilizes Amplify Science in grades 1–5. Amplify has been informed by many positive aspects of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGGS). Amplify Science is also informed by the Core Knowledge Sequence. On EdReports, it partially meets expectations for designed for NGSS and meets expectations for coherence and scope in grades 3–5. UPA utilizes Eureka Math for grades K–5. Eureka Math, previously known as EngageNY Math, is a revolutionary math program designed to ensure that students move beyond rote memorization toward build enduring math knowledge. Every lesson includes opportunities for student discourse because peer-to-peer discussion helps students solidify their understanding of math concepts. Eureka Math meets expectations in all three gateways for grades K–5 on Edreports. Eureka Math is supplemented by Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI). CGI is a student-centered approach to teaching math. It starts with what our students already know and builds on their natural number sense and intuitive approaches to problem solving. Rather than a math program or curriculum, CGI is a way of listening to students, asking smart questions, and engaging with their thinking—all with the goal of uncovering and expanding every student’s mathematical understanding. This and the structured lessons offered by Eureka allow us to develop a strong conceptual understanding of the math standards and procedures expected in elementary school.
