Personal Concerns and Next Steps

A concern I have within teaching math, as well as other content areas is the standards. If I am teaching a third grade class math, science, social studies, and language arts, there are a large number of standards I will need to be aware of and make sure I am meeting. This past Thursday in class (Sept. 18) helped me realize that it really is not to difficult. The standards, both state and national, are easy to find, and for the most part, easy to look through. I found the assignment to find the 7th grade math standards for the activity we did in class to not be very difficult. The standard websites have links to go directly to the grade and directly to the strand. Finding the 7th grade standards in geometry and measurement just took a few minutes of reading. Though I am realizing it's easier then I initially thought, I want to find a way in which I can make sure I am effectively finding all standards for every content. I also want to learn a way in which I can sort the standards myself in order to have easier access.
