My Project

I teach my students using the HighScope Curriculum. My district provides the basic instructional books that help me teach, but there are always extras that help us teach the curriculum more effectively.

Dan Rather says The dream begins, most of the time, with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you on to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truth."

I believe in being the teacher that tugs and pushes and leads my students as far as I can. These curriculum books will help me teach more deeply in my curriculum. The Wheel of Learning and COR Desk references will help me be consistent with teaching the HighScope Curriculum. These items will help me improve my curriculum and deepen my teaching.
