Group Work

I enjoyed our lesson last Tuesday night. I taught me how to paraphrase and how important it is for all teachers in all grades to know the standards.  I think these standards will help immediately when implemented properly. I hope all teachers will research the new curriculum and study the new standards  to be better able to communicate with the teachers at their school. I am concerned that we will not have enough staff development and that the webinars will not be taken seriously. I hope I am wrong, but like everything new in education, there seems to be a pocket of teachers who resist change and cause wrinkles in our learning process. Hopefully with the cross section of teachers from  this class, each of the class participants will be able to light a new fire in their school.
