Many teachers feel that curriculum is difficult to stay on top of. There is so much that needs to be taught and with the pacing guides most districts have you may already feel behind, like I do, because my students need a little extra help this year to truly understand the material so we are slowing down a little. Therefore, I feel like I am sinking.
I do not want my students to feel this way though so that is why I put forth the learning objectives as I can statements so that students know their target each day. Furthermore, I do a lot of formative assessment too, to make sure students truly understand the material before I move on the the next concept.
Isn't it more important that students know material well and can articulate what they learned instead of learn a lot of material and not be able to explain any of it?
