The Curriculum Corner: Teaching with FOCUS
THANK YOU to everyone at #BullockES for your engagement throughout the past several months as we explored Mike Schmoker's Teaching with FOCUS! Your comments & reflections have be so insightful, and have led to some meaningful Chat & Chew dialog as well! If I know our team, I am certain that (in addition to enjoying some well-deserved quality time with family and friends during the Thanksgiving break) you will be catching up our never-ending workload as well!
Therefore, in keeping with the Curriculum Corner #brandEDU of "bite-sized best practices" I have FOCUS'ed all our recent posts from the Bulldog Buzz into two articles...this way everyone can easily catch-up if you missed any of the previous posts. Part 1 (which is currently open) is titled "FOCUS'ing on Curriculum" and Part 2 (which will go live next week) is titled "Instruction with FOCUS."
Click here to read Part 1...don't forget to share your reflections via social media, email or during our Chat & Chew block this upcoming week! Thank you for a fantastic week (and for taking such good care of Stellaluna), and have a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!
