After lunch, we made our way into breakout sessions. I'm in the ELA session with Ms. Barbeau, Mr. Escajeda, and Ms. Graham.
We start off reviewing the charge for these two days and then eliciting needs from the group after yesterday's session.
There is some general anxiety about how the textbook resources will be rolled out and that anxiety is expressed from teachers from all the adoption groups.
We looked at how one standard progresses from grades 6-8.
We looked at what Academic Moves follow each standard. Here is a link to the online resources for the book. (the last word is business).
We then took a few minutes to skim the introduction.
It's been an long two days of looking at lots of words.
I agree. A very full two days (and I was only there for 1.5!), with lots of implications for the Fall. The good news is the wonderful resource Noriko mentioned above has a variety of concrete rubrics and action steps that will apply to all curricular areas, and help facilitate the creation of our Interdisciplinary Projects.
