[MOSAIC] teaching strategies

[vcmur at aol.com]

Hi

You might want to start mapping out what's expected in each grade 
level.  If you start with the Kindergarten team and then have first 
grade do it and so on, each grade could see what was expected the 
previous year. Then they can take that and build upon it.  You would 
end up with a school wide curriculum map that teachers can refer to 
each year.

Subject: [MOSAIC] teaching strategies

   Once again our staff met to share lessons and activities that we use
while teaching the reading strategies. A new strategey is introduced
monthly. And once again several grade levels are using the same
materials and books to teach the strategies during guided reading. How
do you handle this situation? I believe that each year we should be
"digging a little deeper" while teaching the strategies, not reteaching
something that the kids learned the year before. How can we change this
practice....we have to make our teaching better for our students if we
want to help them become successful readers. Thank you.
