Standards to support Civics Instruction across ELA and Social Studies en-us 2021-07-13 19:44:42 UTC 2021-07-14 14:31:16 UTC hello@padlet.com I want to use the ELA list to support my students in SS. oconnellwhitney https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649513030 2021-07-14 14:19:04 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649513030 Many of the suggested texts for the new BEST and Civic literacy reading lists are primary sources- want to make sure we include as many of these as possible! A challenge is low student reading levels- makes it all the more essential that students practice reading regularly and we provide them with structures to break down complex texts. https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649517001 2021-07-14 14:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649517001 A challenge that we will face is creating that teacher buy-in. They are already concerned about finding the time to teach 30% of a list (that they are not fond of). https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649517731 2021-07-14 14:22:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649517731 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649518455 I would like to have my ELA teacher and SS teachers working collaboratively 
 ]]> 2021-07-14 14:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649518455 We plan to collaborate with our ELA team to "divvy up" texts that overlap between the BEST and Civic literacy reading lists. The more of these texts students are exposed to the better for both departments. https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649519875 2021-07-14 14:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649519875 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649519953 Yes, this sounds great - student centered - students are learning with guidance/ leading questions and the teacher is facilitating ]]> 2021-07-14 14:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649519953 Some grade levels are more prepared and ready to teach the new standards. However, some schools/teachers feel like they need more support and still have a lot of questions. Although we have new curriculum, we have not had training from the state in grades 3-12. https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649520132 2021-07-14 14:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649520132 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649520604 Hoping to create lessons or activities around 1 book from the list that we purchased the most of to narrow the focus]]> 2021-07-14 14:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649520604 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649523074 This and inquiry civics are a concern in terms of how to achieve this upcoming year without it being “action civics” which is not a priority and unclear in terms of allowable from Florida legislators and board of Ed ]]> 2021-07-14 14:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649523074 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649524254 How do we parents to understand the issues of public concern in communities?]]> 2021-07-14 14:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649524254 This is especially important, given the current controversy with CRT. It's important to show students different perspectives and allow them to reach their own evidence-based conclusions. https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649524884 2021-07-14 14:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649524884 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649526636 To be honest, it seems my district is more focused on supporting ELA and the new standards and will look at the role of other subjects maybe later… There is a decent enough similarity (in fact old ones may be more rigorous) that we may just encourage social studies to continue just integrating overall best practices when it comes to ELA but not sure yet…]]> 2021-07-14 14:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649526636 https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649529773 Finding quality and acceptable sources will be essential this upcoming year to drive inquiry ]]> 2021-07-14 14:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/oconnellwhitney/28zbrxmxkskeysc5/wish/1649529773
