Jumping in with both feet and my nose plugged, I am using standards based learning in all of my classes. Most importantly for my planning is to be as clear as possible with the targets I create for each unit. In the past I was always very clear about the goals for each unit... in my head! I had lists of vocabulary, skills, and concepts; and, I had tried my hand at creating student friendly KUD's. So far this year my biggest challenge is to create a set of good learning targets and then just GO!
