Winding Down the Year...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Planning for 2013-14 with Northside Consulting:

Spring exams and assessments are over, and schedules for next year are set. It's time to think about next year, already!
 
  • Does our district curriculum align with the Common Core State Standards?
  • Has the staff reviewed the new Next Generation Science Standards?
  • Has our current SRBI process addressed the needs of all of our learners?
  • Do teachers use high-quality independent learning stations and centers as anchoring activities in their classrooms?
  • How can we increase the Depth of Knowledge of our learning tasks?
  • Do teachers plan instruction with language and second language needs in mind?
  • Are we getting the most out of our analysis of data and student work?
  • How can we extend our classroom into the outdoors and the community?

I am very excited about these standards. Please make sure that you provide any feedback by the deadline in the article.
