Читать книгу Your Literacy Standards Companion, Grades K-2 - Jim Burke - Страница 11

Different schools, districts, instructional teams, and individual teachers will pick up Your Literacy Standards Companion and have different ideas about how to use it as a tool. And, of course, there is no one right way. Here are some possible ways, which you might adapt, adopt, or ignore as you see fit:

 Provide all teachers on a grade-level team or school with a copy of this K–2 edition to establish a common text to work from throughout standards planning and instructional design work.

 Use this Companion in tandem with the grades 3–5 edition by Leslie Blauman to dig into the standards in a whole-school initiative.

 Use this Companion along with the grades 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12 volumes for district-level planning and professional development work.

 Bring your Companion to all meetings for quick reference or planning with colleagues in your school or on your grade-level team.

 Use the Companion to aid in the transition from what you were doing to what you will be doing, treating the planning pages that accompany the standards as places to note what you do or which Common Core State Standard corresponds with one of your district or state standards.

 Use the Companion as a resource for revisiting your curriculum plans in Year 2 (or beyond!) of implementing the standards to help you develop, refine, and deepen instruction.

 Begin or end meetings with a brief but carefully planned sample lesson based on a teaching idea in this book. Ask one or more colleagues in the school to present at the next meeting on how the teaching idea might be applied to other grade levels.

 Use the Companion in conjunction with your professional learning community to add further cohesion and consistency among all your ideas and plans.
