Implications for teachers of multiple grade levels

Will we lose the ability to loop curricula?  In other words, if I teach all three grade levels, will I still be able to teach one grade level each year and rotate which curriculum I teach each year?

# data[].attributes.body
What are other science departments in MA doing?

# data[].attributes.body
Can we count on MCAS or equivalent standardized tests actually being aligned with these standards?

# data[].attributes.body
How will the central office support the science department's efforts to support teachers? Do they understand the challenge? Do they care? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
Is there an expectation that we connect the prescriptive/responsive teaching ideas to the curriculum work we are doing now?

# data[].attributes.body
Are we thinking that BPS will be able to roll-out this revised curricula in a similar manner as when we began FOSS units with Peer Teacher Workshops? Or how will this become a district-wide shift?

What about curriculum specific PD?  Would that start this summer?

Do you plan to tie in the engineering with the science as well?

Ditto to K1 need for working on K1 standards, especially since so many topics have shifted downward. Can we build a partnership with Early Education dept. in working on this so we can link to OWL curriculum (there are so many links already with the standards)?

So, Im really nervous
because the district overall remains in the 3-25% zone. I am interested in knowing how can we get in the 75-100% range...

Are we trying to integrate in the practices this weekend too or keeping them in mind in the future?

How are we going to  restructure our curriculum with so few resources?

# data[].attributes.body
What is the training plan for all BPS science teachers? Especially if there's new curriculum, there will need to be training.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you want us to stay focused on science? What if we see places where other content areas overlap?  I hear classroom teachers say they have no time for science.  What if we helped them see the science in their other content areas?

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps a bit early to ask this, but... is there a sense of how materials rollouts will be affected? Will the model of central management still be used?

Are we limited to the science curriculum we already have?

Since I work at all elementary levels, would it be possible to be able to contribute to multiple storylines with which I might be comfortable or could offer resources (not just the grade level to which I was assigned in June)?

# data[].attributes.body
to facilitate our work pace, what is the timeline for this work?  What are the expectations at each check point on the time line?

# data[].attributes.body
Are all grades transitioning at once? or grade-by-grade? How do we make this work to keep pace with the MCAS 2.0 roll-out?

# data[].attributes.body
Are we planning/is there funding to purchase new curricula?

# data[].attributes.body
Are we trying to do the grade level standards as laid out by the MA STE? Or are we open to doing our own order because the MCAS will only test at the end of 8th grade?

# data[].attributes.body
Can you further clarify what this mean?

# data[].attributes.body
Is the idea for this to be rolled out in September of 2017 or 2018?

# data[].attributes.body
When will the MCAS be updated to reflect the new standards?

# data[].attributes.headline
Is the idea that we are using new/updated curriculum next year or this is over the course of several years?

I know I sound like a broken record... but what about K1? There are SO many standards and not enough resources.

Are we reconfiguring the kits?  If so, when will that take effect?
Is it even possible to keep the kits at the levels they are, or are the standards so different that we will need new kits all together...?
How will teachers be trained in the new standards and for the new kits they will teach? Will we be offering new trainings?
Why can't science be valued like Math and ELA and be tested YEARLY for valuable MCAS data?

# data[].attributes.body
Is it expected that we work with all standards or can we do we focus on building one story?

We have so many ELLs, I just want to keep their needs prominent in our thinking.
