Common Core Florida with few tools???

by Dazed and confused

May 9, 2012

I love common core teaching but find it strange as a first year teacher that there are few tools provided. We have H.Mifflin Reading text with workbooks. Social Studies books are ancient and not relevant to new c.i.a. curriculum. No grammar tools other than worksheets downloaded from web. Science books don't match up to new c.i.a. strands. OCPS reference websites for lesson material which is often Smithsonian or another very broad and abstract place with out specifics. Basically each of us is writing every lesson to match the new curriculum. There are lessons to share online but nothing set as a "program". I'm clearly missing something. I am told that everyone is dealing with the same thing as texts have not been published yet to even meet the new curriculum and that the future is away from texts anyway. I would absolutely LOVE any direction that more experienced teachers can give.

It is my understanding that common core will do away with the worksheets and become a more hands on...reflective teaching and learning. That is ok with me as kids have to get totally involved with their education. Hands on and doing their own research and documenting what they have learned will go a long way in communicating to others what they are learning. The problem is what they are to learn and how do I find those resources with limited time and funding.

I have found more help from teacherspayteachers.com and teachers notebook.com. There are many wonderful teacher blogs out there that may help you as well. There are many wonderful helpful teachers who are also in the same boat who have taken a proactive approach and shared what they have created either for free or for a small fee. Hope this helps.
