  5. Aligning the Written, Taught and Tested Curriculum • It is the expectation of the district that learning will be enhanced by adherence to an aligned, articulated scope and sequence that promotes continuity and cumulative acquisition of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills. The TEKS are integrated into our districts’ scope and sequence. The fulfillment of this expectation will result in accomplishing our district goal-improved student achievement.

  6. Aligning the Written, Taught and Tested Curriculum All of the social studies TEKS are essential for students to know & be able to do, but not all the TEKS require the same amount of class time or the same level of emphasis.

  14. Rushing to …first block? It’s not cool to be late!! Don’t expect from kids what you cannot do.

  15. Preparation is Key. Do come to class prepared! Kids will know that you are not prepared and will not respond to you! I promise, you will quickly lose them!

  16. Anger Management Never, Never let your kids see the “dark side”! It will become their mission to know which buttons to push and therefore, they have won!

  17. Solving Your Technology Problems When technology fails us…remain calm, do remain calm. Do not panic. Chances are your neighbor or students can bail you out of a lost day of instruction.

  18. First Day/First Week • Seating Charts • Use index cards • Establish classroom rules and consequences • Follow through/definitely call parents/always start with something positive about their child… • Get to know your kids! • Activities for first days…

  19. Using Media • Technology, Technology, Technology…not an option not to use it!! • Every Social Studies teacher should have an “Eiki”, “Elmo” and a laptop. See librarian or department chairperson. • Kids are more often than not, visual learners • Powerpoints, video clips, audio (music/speeches), still pictures as primary source interpretation… • www.unitedstreaming.com • www.dreamhistory.org • Echalk/ My Groups (secondary social studies)
