For two weeks every fall, all the 3rd grade classes participate in a unit on apples.
- Jessica Newby on 30 May 14
  
  I feel like integrating a general topic like apples is more easily done at an elementary level, but I feel something like this would be just as valuable, if not more, at a secondary level. We, as teachers, are always so focused on finishing our curriculum in time, that we don't even think about collaborating with different departments. A lot could be accomplished and learned if teachers started working together more.

By assessment we mean the act of determining the extent to which the desired results are on the way to being achieved and to what extent they have been achieved.

  I like that this included the phrase "on the way to being achieved". This implies, and should, that assessment is ongoing and doesn't always just happen at the end of a unit. A teacher should be assessing throughout a topic/unit to ensure that students are on their way to success.

as “coaches,” we will likely have to adjust our design and performance
- Jessica Newby on 30 May 14
  
  Many times teacher expect students to adjust to their teaching style. We are the professionals and experts on the material; it is much easier for us to change how we are presenting the information than it is for a student to change the way in which they learn best.
