Summary and Synthesis

I found it interesting to learn about the national standards and focal points. In every class we have only ever talked about the SD standards and doing lessons that adapt to them. It was interesting to see how different the national standards are from the SD standards. I enjoyed the activity we did where we looked up the standards for the activity we did. I was surprised that the SD standards actually had very little to do with what we did even though the national standards specifically stated that activity needs to be met. I now know that I need to be comparing the national standards to the SD standards to fully give my students a good education.
