What's New at EMIS
November 2016 Edition
November's M-Powerment Strategy: Standard Alligned Lessons
- Use the NC standards and unpacking documents when designing lessons
- Use the District pacing guide and instructional support materials when planning
- Write the daily learning target/objective written on the board in student-friendly language (ie: "I Can" Statements)
- Collaboratively discuss curriculum in PLCs to ensure Horizontal/Vertical alignment
- Provide real-world content application and examples to give meaning to learning
- Study your curriculum objectives to understand how they build on each other and the level of understanding (Vertical Alignment)
- Incorporate content from standards-aligned digital resources (iCurio, Discovery Education, SchoolNet, Mastery Connect, Study Island, etc.)
- Design remediation based on standards that need additional work, based on individual students
