The questions are directly aligned with standards and include great diagrams/graphics that students need to get used to using.]]> 2016-10-04 19:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128323021 STC kits do not directly align with the RCD unit created. There are gaps. The proposed RCD timeline is not the same as the STC kit.   https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128326629 2016-10-04 20:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128326629 Canvas https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128327732 Canvas seems fairly unresponsive and not user friendly.]]> 2016-10-04 20:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128327732 RCD https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128327931 The benefits of using it aren't quite apparent yet. ]]> 2016-10-04 20:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128327931 High School Science https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328193 I can only speak for the course I teach, but we have not had time to implement the needed course reorganization plans without time before the start of the semester to dedicate to this task.]]> 2016-10-04 20:14:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328193 https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328232 Told to be implement it while the school year was already started.]]> 2016-10-04 20:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328232 https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328391 Uncertainty of aligning the RCD timeline with kit timeline]]> 2016-10-04 20:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328391 RCD https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328526 We have seen improved student achievement since implementing Biology RCD.]]> 2016-10-04 20:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128328526 https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335614 Its very frustrating to know that all schools aren't using RCD or expected to implement RCD (from their administration)]]> 2016-10-04 20:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335614 Resources https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335697 It's very difficult to edit the resources in RCD for 6th grade science.  Is there any way to have it available to download and modify?  I need to modify lab sheets.]]> 2016-10-04 20:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335697 Kit Integration https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335815 I agree that the science kits are not integrated as well with RCD & NC Essential Standards. ]]> 2016-10-04 20:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335815 Timeline https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335830 The timeline for the 8th grade Matter unit is very short and the kit typically takes quite a bit of time to work through. In addition, the kit isn't comprehensive and needs to be supplemented with teacher instruction. There isn't enough time dedicated to this unit with the use of the kit.]]> 2016-10-04 20:56:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335830 not enough technology available for all courses to participate in RCD. https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335923 2016-10-04 20:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128335923 Pretests https://padlet.com/brittanytaylor/leadscience/wish/128336138 Having pre-tests "required" for all science classes and topics seems pointless as many units are totally new for students to come into contact with and we won't glean any information from the pre-assessment.
