The SURN Science Forum blog facilitates middle school and high school teachers who attended a workshop on using high yield literacy strategies in science class to share and showcase what they are doing in their classrooms, offers a forum for questions, and lets viewers read posts of how teachers are working to effectively use literacy strategies they learned at the workshop.

Common Plan
The fabulous Mollie turner and I and one other Earth Science teacher have utilized common planning this year and our first nine weeks scores are around 11% higher! Yes, we have to plan after school but it only takes about 20 minutes and we plan 1 week at a time. I write the lesson plans, our other teacher makes the copies, and Mollie has been creating the assessments. It seems to be working!

Sounds like a great idea. I'm so glad that you guys are able to work together so well.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a good thing. I think some other people (non earth science) are jealous of what we do with common planning.
