Okay, I have to sound off on this idea of creating power standards from the Common Core standards. I just don’t understand it! The standards are meant to be taught again and again across weeks, months and years! With that said, how can we highlight specific standards as more important than others? They all work together!
Listen in as I tell you about an “Ugh!” kind of conversation I had recently with a big client of ours. I had to set them straight – not an easy conversation, but a necessary one! Click below to listen.
Our district had, (at the school level), each grade level get together to come up with the power standards, then they get together with the grade above & below them and go over the power standards, so each grade knows what’s going on in the other grades. This is all done at the school level.
