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.]]> 2017-11-02 12:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/renaissance51216/13aq8na8bgk0/wish/202860963 Connecting the hands-on learning and the thinking and applying it to questions on assessments. https://padlet.com/renaissance51216/13aq8na8bgk0/wish/202861099 2017-11-02 12:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/renaissance51216/13aq8na8bgk0/wish/202861099 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.
