Curriculum

I would like to make a trailer spoof on what it's like to write curriculum, at least the experience I have had with it. My colleague and I looked back to a document that we produced last year and we had no idea what was in our heads at the time of its composure. It was sweet however, that we had written so many notes in the margins of our common core packets, highlighting conversations and ideas that we had. I joked that I felt compelled to scrapbook our time spent here. Some teachers are creating this curriculum for a whole grade level on their own and I can't imagine doing this solo. There would be a lot less to scrapbook, that's for sure.

I know in education its common to create - then re-create - again and again and again. At times, this can be daunting, but more often than not I'm thankful for the process of beginning anew. It seems to me that my job is then filled with hope.
