That version of the 6-8 standards you wish you had Don't spend another minute poring over the standards. Jim Burke has already done the hard work for you with this roadmap of what each standard says, what each standard means, and how precisely to put that standard into practice across English Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. Jim clearly lays out: Grades 6-8 standards side by side with key distinctions Different content-area versions of each standard Explanations of each standard, with student prompts Content to cover, lesson ideas, and instructional techniques Glossary and adaptations for ELL students

Whoever said teachers have the summers off? #teachersofLitsy

minkyb A huge fallacy! 8y
Reggie My dad is a teacher and my mother was a principal. The best teachers are always learning. Even in their 60's they still go to trainings and conferences. And have their gurus like Ruby Payne. 8y

I'm done reading Understanding by Design, so I'm revisiting the English Language Arts Common Core Standards before attempting to plan my first UbD instructional unit. I'm such a nerd! 🤓 #TeachersofLitsy #SummerWork (and yes, that's pumpkin spice coffee ☕️ and a carrot cupcake in the background 😊)

Bookworm83 I love writing UbD units! #teachernerds 8y

BookishMarginalia @Bookworm83 @inwhichHeikereadsharder @rustoryhuf @tlmorgan @Smartypants Hello, my people! I would so appreciate any help, pointers, resource recs, etc! And if any of you would be willing to give me feedback once I have a draft, I would so appreciate it! (I'm the first in my school to venture into UbD, so I'm on my own.) My work email is custodio.g at tasisdorado.com 🤓🙌🏼 8y
rustoryhuf Just let me know what you need...when I go back to work on Monday I can send a ppt for a PD workshop on UBD. 8y
BookishMarginalia @rustoryhuf Thanks! 8y
Bookworm83 I'd love to look at a draft and offer feedback. I'd be happy to share some of my understandings and essential questions as examples. They are a constant work in progress, but it's fun to trade ideas! I'll shoot you an email from my work email 👍🏻 (edited) 8y
