I found a great website for novice and experienced middle
level teachers. Education World is a great
website with an abundance of information about curriculum, professional
development, how to write lesson plans, etc.
Also Education World has hyperlinks to different websites that are
teacher-made and great for research.
Education World fits into the scope of This We Believe under the
characteristics: Educators value young adolescents and are
prepared to teach them and Leaders are committed to and knowledgeable
about this age group, educational research, and best practices. The web address for Education
World is http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/curr174.shtml
There is an excellent white paper presentation titled Bringing Common Core Standards to Life
ReplyDeleteBy Dr. Catherine Thome. The paper deals with the implementation of Common Core Standards; the author emphasizes that the success of the CCSS depends on how it is implemented in the classroom. Good article that deals with TWB's Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment.
