Vermilion Local Schools

Curriculum

Curriculum Department Overview

The Vermilion Local School District is working toward alignment with Ohio Learning Standards in Mathematics, English-Language Arts, and Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical subjects. Twenty-first century learning requires deep understanding and effective use of content for real-world purposes, problem solving, frequent research and writing, as well as effective communication for authentic audiences. Students deserve to deeply understand content along with why and how information, technology and inspiration are used to comprehend and thrive in the global world. Well before instruction begins, the desired results for teaching and learning are purposefully designed, assessments are aligned and it is clearly understood how students may demonstrate evidence of learning.

Personalization
High Expectations

We believe in a world in which all learners are empowered to discover their own special genius. The administration and faculty in the Vermilion Local School District have shown this by developing an award winning 1:1 technology initiative. Technology is used to enhance teaching and learning to ensure that all students are prepared for future success in work and life.
