The past month I have been busy hosting workshops on Developing UDL Instructional lessons; creating balanced assessment systems (Priority Expectations Options II and III); continuing the facilitation of the online book club and now trying to gain a deeper understanding of the new Common Core Standards. These three things along with my regular day to day work have created an exciting but intellectually draining month. All have been extremely rewarding, but has been caused little time for blogging and limited time for family and friends.
This next week we are going to have our first planning session for the intensive rework of our Curriculum Crafter Math and ELA content area curriculum. This work is going to mean long hours, intensive planning, and a GREAT opportunity to create a 21st century curriculum that will significantly advance the success of teachers and students alike.
The creation and adoption of Common Core Standards is a momentous occasion that will certainly help our nation’s students compete more readily in a global economy. The Curriculum Crafter® Tool, with content that is fully aligned to the Common Core Standards will allow Kent County to help in making this transition successful for the students we serve.
