Mapleton Public Schools believes in a Balanced Literacy approach K-12. 

The uniqueness of our K-8 school models allows for resource choices.  Based on a collaborative decision-making process, schools have a choice between one of the following:

• American Reading Company (ARC) 
• EL Education Curriculum Modules

In grades PK-5, Bridges 2nd Edition is implemented. Bridges provides a strong conceptual foundation for mathematics.

In grades 6-8, alignment of math standards and practices is confirmed through Envision Math 6 - 8

Carnegie Learning is used at the high school level.

On March 19, 2019, the Mapleton School Board approved new curriculum materials to address the 2020 Colorado Academic Standards for Health Education. These materials will be used beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. 

• K-8 Social Emotional Education: Second Step
• K-12 Bully Prevention: Olweus
• 6-12 Sexuality Education: FLASH
• K-12 Comprehensive Health Education: HealthSmart

Science standards are implemented through inquiry topics, Project Lead the Way, McGraw Hill Inspire, and SAVVAS (biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics). 

Elementary Social Studies standards are embedded in ELA study using rich non-fiction text. National Geographic Learning materials enhance student understanding in grades 6-8.  At the high school level, McGraw Hill History, as well as Pearson Geography, Economics and Civics round out resources.

Elementary Music is taught using the Quaver curriculum.

Spanish Literacy Instruction at Adventure Elementary uses the American Reading Company framework. 

The Language For series is the board-approved curriculum for direct language instruction for English Language Learners. 

Sources of Strength 

Sources of Strength is a program which strives to prevent adverse outcomes by increasing wellbeing, help-seeking, resilience, health coping, and belonging.  Sources of Strength is designed to be used first with staff and then with students; coaching is built into the program as each site is required to have two coaches that are trained in staff SEL coaching and program implementation.  Sources of Strength involves a peer leadership group that works collaboratively with adult advisors to promote positive campaigns for the school that encourage others to rely on their sources of strength and promote positive help-seeking behavior.  Sources of Strength is available to students in kindergarten through 12^th grade.

Leader in Me

Leader in Me is a comprehensive Preschool through 12^th grade framework that nurtures student leadership, fosters a culture of trust, and boosts academic success.  Leader in Me integrates highly-effective practices across the three areas of leadership, culture, and academics.  Leader in Me embraces five paradigms which are: everyone can be a leader; everyone has genius; change starts with me; empower students to lead their own learning, and educators and families partner to develop the whole person.  Similar to Sources of Strength, Leader in Me begins with adult learning and modeling and then provides students the opportunity to lead, teach, and learn from other students.
