How do you organize a school year into engaging, rigorous and manageable units of study while ensuring you are reaching all the standards? We will look at the year as a big picture, then zoom into a specific unit of study,and zoom in again to one lesson. It’s challenging to find a balance between addressing the content you need to teach while incorporating a wide variety of resources and maintaining flexibility. Having a plan makes day today teaching less stressful so you can focus on the needs of your students.
Organizing your standards into cohesive unit maps with planned timelines enables you to focus on making your daily lessons and activities great while addressing critical concepts. Strategies on how to organize units of study and lessons from a variety of resources, including the MathTwitterBlogoSphere, will be shared. Specific examples will include snapshots of a year, unit, and lesson in Algebra 1 and Geometry, though the strategies can be applied to all content areas. You are encouraged to bring your own ideas, calendars, resources and plans for discussion.
