There is still resistance from teachers to change what they are doing. Their mindset: "The UbD is done on paper, which is all that matters, now we can continue doing the same stuff as always."

We have not really looked at the curriculum as a science department, and since I haven't been part of this process I am not really familiar with what is in it.

There is less planning and collaboration time to actually revamp the tests, daily plans and activities. Some teachers waste what little collab time there is complaining, etc.

There are times when fitting in the self-reflection pieces become harder.  Remembering to take the time and do that is critical.

Not all teachers are totally using the common assessments, or changing what they are doing even after discussing what we should be doing.

Are there any already made rubrics to use with the students to evaluate themselves?  The scale method I am using was developed by the math teachers and does not always marry perfectly to how they need to think about their learning in science.

Supporting other teachers that teach at different times, and on different floors, without a common planning time, is spotty and inconsistent. Some teachers are not comfortable with just using the assessments and map to build their instruction. They feel like they need more guidance but cannot get it. Part of this is true, but part of it, in my opinion, is a lack of risk taking and faith in themselves that is holding them back.

We wrote our science curriculum for full day kindergarten when we were still teaching 1/2 day kindergarten...we had no idea what full day k would look like. Coming back 2 years after we began writing we are seeing things that need changed/adapted.

Other than providing many exploratory opportunities to practice and modeling scientific thinking and self-monitoring, are their ways to teach children to think like scientists and be problem solvers?  Some really struggle with how to approach problems in math and science.
