New Insights and Their Implications

Through this class I have a better understanding of the standards, state and national. I had thought I did understand them and what they ment, but after this week I am shocked as to how much I do not know. When we looked at the activity and tried to find standards that would fit with the activity, I thought I had done alright. As a class, we looked at other standards and talked about them. This was wonderful, as I got to hear what other studetns were thinking when they chose the ones they did. With the implications standards being what they are, I am supprised that they are so vague in their attempt to let the teacher know what to teach. I now know that I need to look at the national standards with the state standards to produce quality lessons that my studetns can learn from. What I need to do now is to take this new found information and apply it to all my classes.
