StandardsAt MITCH, we use these standards to guide our teaching and help your child reach their full potential. Think of it as a roadmap that ensures consistent, high-quality learning for every student as follows:
CCSS Academic Standards, Oregon Department of Education
The Common Core State Standards focus on skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication to ensure students are prepared for future success in school, work, and life. Next Generation Science Standards We use the Next Generation Science Standards to provide hands-on, inquiry-based science instruction that fosters curiosity and critical thinking. |
MITCH CurriculaAt MITCH Charter School, our curriculum is designed to engage students with meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that build a strong foundation for academic and personal success. Below is an easy-to-understand overview of the programs we use to ensure every child thrives.
Core Knowledge Sequence
The Core Knowledge Sequence is a nationally recognized curriculum that transforms education into an adventure. Students explore topics like history, science, art, and music through a rich, organized approach that builds on what they’ve learned in previous grades. This curriculum is regularly updated to include diverse and inclusive content, fostering literacy and responsible citizenship. Collaborative Literacy (K-2) Collaborative Literacy combines reading and writing instruction with Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to help young learners grow academically and emotionally.
Literacy and Writing (3-5)
Early reading success starts with recognizing letters and sounds. The Heggerty curriculum provides daily practice with phonemic awareness, helping students build a strong foundation for decoding words and becoming confident readers. Eureka Math Math at MITCH goes beyond memorization—students learn to think critically, solve problems, and understand the "why" behind the numbers. Eureka Math builds knowledge through a story-like progression, making it one of the most effective math programs in the U.S. Agriculture Our unique Agriculture Curriculum focuses on Indigenous Seed Rematriation—the return of Indigenous seeds to their original communities. Students learn about sustainability, diversity, and culture through hands-on activities in our school garden and classroom.
The Great Body Shop Our health education program, The Great Body Shop, equips students with the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices.
Friendzy (Social-Emotional Learning) Friendzy creates a school-wide culture of kindness, empathy, and emotional regulation. Students learn essential SEL skills, including:
Tribal History / Shared History MITCH integrates Oregon’s Tribal History Essential Understandings into the curriculum, helping students learn about the history, culture, and resilience of Oregon’s nine federally recognized Tribal Nations. These lessons are also incorporated into our Agriculture Program, connecting past and present. AssessmentsMITCH uses multiple assessments to monitor student growth and achievement:
NWEA Measures of Academic Progress - Tracks growth and proficiency over time Smarter Balanced Assessment - Measures student progress in math and literacy Acadience (formerly DIBELS) Reading Assessment - Evaluates early literacy skills |
