HUBBARD — With the school year at its halfway point, the Hubbard Board of Education heard updates on a curriculum adopted last year. To progress monitor students on root skills, Herrholtz said the district utilizes Acadience, a diagnostic tool used on all grade levels that is issued three times a year. “Then you’ll go into the next room, they’re doing the same skill — but they’re doing it in a different way. They’re doing an activity on the Smartboard, or they’re doing an activity on dry erase boards at their desk.”Marcello said that the teachers note which program they’re using sometimes, saying it was “really neat” to see how the programs were connected. “It flagged them for not having enough original text, because our teachers chirped to them, ‘You have to go back and find text evidence and cite the text,'” Marcello said.
