Session 8: How
prepared do you feel in effectively teaching your students in reading? Is this one of your strengths? A weakness?
I don’t feel especially effective in teaching my students
reading and I do think this is one of my weaknesses. I have started a word wall
for my classroom and have been conscious of going over the words and making
sure students understand the pronunciation and definition of the vocabulary
words I that unit. Other than that I haven’t really focused on reading and some
other ideas would be nice to have to try and implement in the future.
Have you started to plan to the Common Core Standards? If you have, how is that going? If you haven’t, why not? What support do you need?
This is a tricky question for me since I teach the Cambridge
Curriculum. I was told that Cambridge was aligned with the Arizona State
Standards for College and Career Readiness which is the state’s common core program
but other than having to use it for classes I haven’t referenced it much. As
far as support I wish I could sit down with someone next semester and annotate
the Common Core Standards on my Cambridge syllabus and that would make it
easier to complete lesson plans for the TIR program since I am not required to
do so for my school.
