What will be the biggest challenge for you as a classroom teacher as we roll out the new Core? Have you had your Core Academy training yet? What were the positives and negatives of the training? Do you feel ready to begin with at least one lesson this year?
Biggest challenge: making sure I recognize to myself and with the students that we are covering Core materials. I think you need to be blatant and obvious to students when you cover any of your core standards with them.
ReplyDeleteCore Academy: Yes, participated last week and found that I really enjoy collaborating with teachers outside of my school. We are planning to meet together at least once per term throughout the school year to compare lessons, strategies, how we meet the Common Core...
I feel somewhat ready and definitely ready to work with my English teacher on some cooperative teaching!
I feel ready to implement the Common Core because I have a great grade level team to work with in my school. For me, the biggest challenge will be teaching effective use of argument writing.
