One teacher from each grade level from our school & others in our small county have attended several sessions (will have 9 in all) this year. We are working on unit plans and how to tie AFL strategies, etc. into the new standards. In addition to this, we will take the units we are creating & meet with our grade levels in April to match what we have with the frameworks that will be coming out. We have just recently begun taking half days to get together with all the teachers in our grade level in the county to begin decomposing the standards & talking about what they mean and creating 'I can.." statements with each... we did a little with ELA & a little with Math so far... we have more of those scheduled until the end of the year... Best of luck.. I am nervous about how it will all work out next year!!!<br /><br />~Kimberlee~<br /><a href="http://twofulbrighthugs.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Two Fulbright Hugs</a><br /><a href="http://teachertakers.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Two Fulbright Hugs</a>Kimberlee Fulbrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414401956765564523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216009078403113450.post-69680744164916348272012-03-14T13:30:48.367-04:002012-03-14T13:30:48.367-04:00I went to a district meeting last week.

I'm anxious to read your comments and see what others have to offer. I love this blog world. I feel like I have the whole world to collaborate with.<br /><a href="http://petersons-pad.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Petersons-Pad</a>Sheree Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746699150632658825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216009078403113450.post-13274431457400278022012-03-14T12:14:48.510-04:002012-03-14T12:14:48.510-04:00The best advice I can give you is not to stress so...The best advice I can give you is not to stress so much over implementation. We rolled out K and 1 this year and it has been ok, just ok. I have some items I can try to email you to help you with math and I also have a lot of reading stuff, since I am the go-to person at my school. <br />I was lucky enough to be chosen as a member of a team of 24 teachers in Florida to work on formative assessments for the ELA standards. A lot of the info is confidential, but I can guide you in the direction that you need. You can email me pinksmyink@gmail.com and I will try to help in anyway I can.<br /><br /><br /><a href="%E2%80%9Dfaithfulinfirst.blogspot.com/%E2%80%9D" rel="nofollow">Faithful in First</a>Janinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953696469072686797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216009078403113450.post-90018406960807219462012-03-14T07:53:50.150-04:002012-03-14T07:53:50.150-04:00That is so nice thanks for sharing..That is so nice thanks for sharing..Online Talenthttp://www.talentidols.comnoreply@blogger.com
