I don't know if this helps, but you may want to look on the New Jersey
DOE ebsite. 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.

his teacher is not coming up with any ideas to improve instruction in
OUR chool. 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? Sent from my iPhone

I would like to speak up for the seasoned, stand-alone teachers,
since I was
ne for years.
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. :-)

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.

Here in Texas the standards are called TEKS. This one example of a
5th grade
standard:
5.11.A Students will summarize the main ideas and supporting details
in a
ext
in ways that maintain meaning and logical order
To answer your question about teaching genres, yes, all reading
teachers will
e
working on the same genre during the same period. At least in the
first
semester. We had issues with teachers not teaching all standards and
genres.
o,
they move from grade to grade with many learning holes. Thank you for
your
elp.
