We still must teach them. I hope that teachers don't think they can just skip them!<BR/><BR/>I am excited about the idea of Power Standards though, and look forward to focusing on them. Heck, I look forward to simply HAVING a focus for a change!Edna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756635597593870052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458937443261385091.post-10028724746553338912008-06-29T09:13:00.000-07:002008-06-29T09:13:00.000-07:00I just love the word "suggestion" coming from some...I just love the word "suggestion" coming from someone with so much power. When that word comes out of their mouth it is not just a "suggestion," it is a direct order. Talk about trying to be flexible. The Power Standards sound like a great idea though! It just makes me wonder if all of the other standards will just be pushed into the corner. However, I would love to see Power Standards used at my school. It would be interesting to see how well they work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458937443261385091.post-85514970642923560462008-06-20T11:41:00.000-07:002008-06-20T11:41:00.000-07:00We've had Standards of Learning in our state for y...We've had Standards of Learning in our state for years. Can't wait 'til they graduate to Power Standards. Geesh! Do you think the pencilheads at the DOE have anything better to do? Like help us educate the Cherubs? BTW, you're invited to contribute to Take Another Look Thursday. It’s a way we teachers can stay on our toes this summer! http://scholastic-scribe.blogspot.com/2008/06/take-another-look-thursday.htmlMelissa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13172152515024862967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458937443261385091.post-70666879158038337352008-06-19T18:00:00.000-07:002008-06-19T18:00:00.000-07:00You could not be more right!You could not be more right!Edna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756635597593870052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458937443261385091.post-80073327869958134672008-06-19T10:11:00.000-07:002008-06-19T10:11:00.000-07:00"Don't you just love suggestions" like that. Just..."Don't you just love suggestions" like that. Just one year after our district spent EONS of committee and teacher time mapping out the curriculum. . . they adopted a new curriculum and changed everything. Is it any wonder that teachers so often smile & nod at district office people, then shut the doors and do what they've always done? It'd be nice to get buy-in from everyone, but the more experienced teachers have been burned by buying into short-lived programs, only to have them thrown out before it's even possible to decide if they're working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
