Reply To: Lesson 6-3: Questions

My school district is still in the very early stages of adopting standards-based assessment. We were told last year that it’s coming and to begin trying it out. So, I definitely want to convert to it this year. Completely spiraling all of my lessons would be way too much for me to bite off at the moment, but I can spiral my assessments and begin to think more in terms of creating topics or strands and lesson cycles. I would like to use the problem-based tasks to anchor my topics, but since this coming school year will be my first time using them, I’m going to have to get really comfortable and experienced with utilizing them in class with students first.
