I am going to work on a similar document to organize the big ideas found in my curriculum. I feel like my lesson planning now is choppy and disconnected.
-
Tonya, I can see that happening in my planning too when I focus too much on the tiny pieces instead of looking at the big ideas for my guiding principles.

Curious to hear what you both start developing! Big ideas are key!

I like the idea of looking at the learning progressions (Is that the same as learning trajectories?) as a way of breaking the learning into spirals that build on the one before.
-
As I plan for my spirals, I need to focus on the big ideas of the curriculum ( I could see that in Michael’s documents) and not get bogged down in the tiny pieces. Those tiny things need to fit within the larger idea so that the connections can be made.

Love this reflection. Keep us posted on how it goes!

Micheal’s idea certainly resonated with me, breaking up the units by progressions. I am teaching Pythagorean theory right now, and within a few minutes I was able to break my last month’s teaching up into progressions which I can spiral next year.

Love how you aren’t putting these ideas on the shelf for now and actually getting things going. That action taking is what is ultimately going to determine whether you ever take the first step or not. You’ve already taken a couple steps it seems!
