What Can I Do?

Whenever I share ideas for system-wide change and improvement, I always feel like I have to then go back and think about what I can do to make optimal change and growth, and to serve my students well.

Here's my list and challenges:
  • Provide thoughtful feedback to students often (I want to read Mark Barnes book, Role Reversal)
  • Develop new writing programs with depth, and follow SRSD approach.
  • Study and create math model making activities and importance. 
  • Continue to learn the common core standards through lesson design, research, and work with UClass.
  • Continue to develop collaborative skill, intent, and understanding via reading (books? I will read Choice Words), discussion, and learning.
  • Personalize curriculum efforts through refection, assessment, and conversation with and for students. 
  • Continue to learn about, employ, and assess learning design.
  • Boost close reading knowledge/work. Read Frey and Fisher's book, Rigorous Reading.
