Fall Break NB Work

by What Works

Oct 11, 2016

Greetings, Candidates!

Many of you are either having a Fall Break now or will have one soon. What NB work do you plan to accomplish? Can you commit to spending at least 2 hours on 2 different days to moving forward?

10 THINGS YOU COULD ACCOMPLISH IN 4 HOURS

1. Read your whole set of NB Standards, then read the ones listed for each Component you'll work on again.

2. Read your Component Instructions multiple times.

3. Make a plan: a timeline, a set of goals, a lesson plan, a video plan etc.

4. Create a Word Document for each Component you're working on with all the prompts cut and pasted on it IN A COLOR.

5. Write the Component 2 Instructional Context and/or the Component 3 Instructional Context Form and/or a couple of the Component 4 forms.

6. Do some research: on formative/summative assessment, on writing strategies, strategies for teaching large and small groups, kinds and purposes Learning Communities etc.

NC SC Rereading the questions is what helps me. Especially with Component 4. It's a challenge to wrap your mind around.
