    Integers Galore!

    For the third episode of 2022 of “Inside the Co-taught Classroom”, Kayce and Amanda talk math. Integers become an integral part of math within middle school and it is important to start with a solid foundation. Kayce and Amanda discuss how they help students really grasp that foundation by building off of the background knowledge many students did not know they had from integers out in the real world. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. We hope you will continue to join the conversation week after week!

    Writing CERA Style

    Diving into the Short Constructed Response For the second episode of 2022 of “Inside the Co-taught Classroom”, Kayce and Amanda dive into the major writing focus of using the CERA approach to teaching short constructed responses within the 6th grade Langauge Arts classroom. Over time, both Kayce and Amanda have utilized a mixture of writing trials, specific feedback through a rubric, and a self reflection document in order to maximize student buy-in and ownership over writing.
