THE CURRICULUM

School District U-46 offers a standards-based education for all students. A standards-based
curriculum:
1. Clearly articulates expectations for student learning.
2. Ensures that curriculum, instruction, and assessments are aligned so that students
will meet or exceed expectations on the Illinois Learning Standards.
3. Offers supplemental support systems to assist students with their academic progress.

COMMITMENT TO “ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR ALL”

The administration, faculty, and staff members are committed to “academic success for all” of
our students. As such, through our U-46 Rising work, we aim to ensure that all students have
access to rigorous standards-based core instruction that develops student agency, fosters
equity, and allows for student-led academic teaming. The programs of study available in U-46
are designed to encourage each student to select the most rigorous and appropriate courses
that will nurture their individual strengths, talents, and interests.

The goal of the U-46 Mathematics program is to give our students the skills and knowledge they need to think and reason mathematically and to use what they have learned to solve problems. 

The need to understand and be able to use mathematics in everyday life and the workplace has never been greater and will continue to increase. Mathematical competence opens doors to productive futures. We believe that ALL students should have the opportunity and the support necessary to learn significant mathematics with depth and understanding.
