Assessment Information
Digging Deeper with our Standards
I hope you enjoyed our session as much as I did. I did a lot of reflecting on how knowing my curriculum better, could only help me be a better teacher. If you do break a standard down with your class, I would love to hear about it and how it went!
Also, use your PLC time to dig deeper into a standard that your students may continue to struggle with.
Just a reminder, that on your PLC agenda, your conversations should also always be supported by an ELA and Math standard.
