I teach in a rural community where every year the students seem to be lower academically. I'm expected to teach the standards. But what do I do when every student is a grade level lower than where they need to be? How do I teach them the standards I'm required to if they still can't read or complete math at the level they were taught the year before?

I've been at this for four years and I love it but I don't want to fail my students.
flacka Some standards don't rely on previously taught standards (ie: you can teach about ancient Greece without they mastering American symbols) but others not so much. I taught K at a school where they came with few or NO skills so I first had to teach the skills and information they should have had. Then they had the prior knowledge for me to build on. ...See More
