Challenges and Success of Curriculum

Building curriculum is often a difficult task, especially when you are trying to make sure it engages students and is completely aligned to the standards.   However, as I have learned through my Students Discover experience, teamwork is an awesome power!!!  At first we struggled with trying to build a lesson that incorporated 6th grade science, 7th grade math, and 8th grade science.  We didn’t know each others curriculum and had a hard time trying to figure how to fit all the pieces together.  So, we had a great idea to put all of our goals together in one document.  That helped us build a bigger and better over all lesson plan that all 3 of could use.  Then, as we continued brain storming, we feel like we have a created an awesome PBL lesson.  It is interdisciplinary and vertically aligned. Having 3 brains working together has been awesome!
