They have organized the CCS into five units for instruction. Look under he model curriculum tab and click on Math or ELA. Then click on the grade you each and you can see unit 1, unit 2 etc... ur school began to follow the unit models for teaching and we are presently ligning our literature, poems and stories at each grade level to teach the tandards. e spent last year working on resources for teaching and supporting the new Math CS. nother teacher and I created a template for each unit. We literally copied and asted the SLO into our school template and then added a column for suggested esources to meet the standards. ts a work in progress but has been helpful.

Does she has the best instructional strategies? Maybe, I don't know. As mention before, what other teachers do is a secret in my school. I can tell ou what she has shared about her instruction: she has the best standardized cores in the school, she doesn't believe in allowing the children to choose heir books and reading anything outside the basal program, she believes every ingle reading should be assessed, she is great at teaching test taking strategy he entire year, she uses lots of practice tests passages to teach, she usually akes negative comment about teachers' poor test scores and incompetence. My point is, share your greatness now that you are in the leadership team. What s your plan to help OUR school? To assist and collaborate with the incompetent eachers?

Teachers being required to all be teaching the same genre at the same time akes my hair stand up. If they elect to do so voluntarily, that's one thing. eing ordered to is quite another thing. Plus, teachers do not have to all be oing the same genres at the same time to be covering/teaching/addressing all he standards. Those are two different issues. If there are teachers who are not eaching everything they should be, that's an issue that should be taken up by he principal. I do understand that you are looking for a solution to a problem. But the seasoned, stand-alone teacher is sometimes the one with the better ractices. :-) Renee On Jul 10, 2013, at 6:41 AM, Deborah Hopp wrote: > > > > Evelia, > I am not an expert on alignment, but I have taught in a private school and ow a public school. When you are trying to move seasoned teachers, it's verwhelming. Focus on finding like minds and spend your time collaborating ith them. Take risks and spend you time being the BEST teacher that you can e. Don't let this frustration keep you from being just that, the BEST teacher ou can be. Some will want what you have. Others won't-this is just a fact hat very passionate teachers have to deal with. Good leadership is key in this rea. Hopefully, the principal has a backbone. > Debbie Hopp > Kindergarten teacher > Certified Reading Specialist > Baltimore, Maryland > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: evelia cadet <cadeteve...@hotmail.com> > To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group mosaic@literacyworkshop.org> > Sent: Wed, Jul 10, 2013 3:29 am > Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] Curriculum Alignment > > > Here in Texas the standards are called TEKS.
