a1) #MTedchat What we are going to help your child learn this year.

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: Curriculum means a whole lot and a whole little. What, how, when, and resources we need to set up learning. Some magic, too. #mtedchat

tomtalksmiddle Sep 20 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1. Curriculum is the WHAT we teach. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: Curriculum is the road map of what we're doing and hope to accomplish in the year (but expect detours) #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1: Curriculum is the topics, content I teach, and the big ideas that Ss will learn about. Teachers & Ss help develop a curr. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Also, I'm Alan, English teacher from Savage joining late! #MTedchat

izzaboo Sep 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@cbartow is it safe to say curriculum is "what we're gonna do this year and when"? #MTedchat

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:14 PM EDT

I see curriculum as teh mandated bit The part we flesh out is where the magic does or doesn't happen #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:15 PM EDT

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Well, I'm a one person department so....I have a pretty big say in curriculum! #MTedchat

twhitford Sep 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Disagree. Standards are mandated. Curr is a choice. Districts may not give Ts a voice in it, but it is a choice #MTedchat

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@HoffmannClass Detours are the best bit. Especially if Ss initiate them #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@HoffmannClass I love detours! It's usually where the magic happens! #mtedchat

wyowayne68 Sep 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

#MTedchat a2) T asked to help write curric. Implementation T should have huge say. After what is established T develops how. art & science

izzaboo Sep 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

so curriculum is What+ :-) #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 All Ts in my school have a voice in choosing the curriculum materials and strategies for teaching. We pilot, share, research #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie I love engaging Ss with random things that pop up. We talk philosophy, morals, advances in science, everything. #MTedchat

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@twhitford OK Tom. Let me think about this... we are arguing semantics i hope #MTedchat

KamRenae Sep 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Yes, implementation T's SHOULD have a huge say, but unfortunately this is not always the case!! @wyowayne68 #mtedchat

kinsey80 Sep 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2. As an admin I try to keep track of what is taught. I have voice in standards etc. we use rubicon atlas for our curric #mtedchat

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@izzaboo Yep ++++ In Montana, curriculum is locally determined, aligned to standards set by BPE https://t.co/R2ERotk629 @mtbpe1 #mtedchat

Hello #MTedchat - Brian Redmond, band director from Rock Springs HS in WY checking in late. Late fee on its way to @izzaboo

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2 I see my curricuulum as a series of skills i need to tick off. Beyond that i determine how I get ss to that point #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@kinsey80 Good to have admin support. Need that backing when Ts take risks. #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: I am blessed to work in a district where the superintendent has given us permission to push back and do what is best for Ss! #mtedchat

@bnredmond @izzaboo Thanks Brian....I thought I was going to get the Tardy Smurf award tonight :) #MTedchat

wyowayne68 Sep 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@KamRenae Sad when not! Pink says if we hold accountable we need to give power to get there. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:20 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie I always enjoy justifying how and why that part truly IS part of the curriculum. Use the standards as purpose. #mtedchat

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@cristama I teach 3 different curriculum. One is outcomes based. That's where you can really find methods everywhere #MTedchat

Ughhhh... My computer keeps freezing. Wish I had someone techy around here to tinker with it (oh, that's me..will be long night ;) #mtedchat

rachelmarker Sep 20 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A1: Curriculum is the content we choose to curate for our Ss. Can/should be multi-dimensional and from many sources. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@cristama I'm sorry to be late to the chat! Looks like a great topic. #MTedchat

KamRenae Sep 20 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2 #mtedchat research/data for similiar school/community demographics/population should be behind choices with input from all stakeholders

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@cristama Kick it. If it doesn't help at least it's satisfying #MTedchat

twhitford Sep 20 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Don't get me wrong. I've seen districts mandate Curr, but good districts let Ts choose how to meet standards #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:24 PM EDT

I would have a difficult time working where I didn't have a voice! #MTedchat

Q3: Materials used in the delivery of the curriculum must occur every five years. How do we branch beyond the book? #MTedchat

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@twhitford @GruntledChalkie If Ss are at the center of planning, then curriculum and resources can fall into place to support Ss #mtedchat

beckynusbaum Sep 20 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Hi #MTedchat, sorry I'm late. I used to be 7-8 gr computer & coding teacher St Francis, recently moved to Denver

GruntledChalkie Sep 20 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@twhitford Agreed. I think we both just use the word different. But then i am from a district 14000 km away. #MTedchat

bnredmond Sep 20 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@slwindisch yep. Being revamped, but we've got one. Jealous? :) #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:27 PM EDT

not sure why we spend so much time having meetings & writing curr each year, it should change every year, standards stay the same #MTedchat

izzaboo Sep 20 @ 10:27 PM EDT

@PrincipalNyberg Great point. The Qs we pose are critical for helping Ss make cross-curric connections #MTedchat

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:44 PM EDT

@izzaboo Loved Connections! Bought the DVD set when I was a little teacher-librarian in Manhattan, MT #mtedchat

tomtalksmiddle Sep 20 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A4. Vertical conversations on a regular basis. Teaming best practices put cross curr conversations on the 4front of learning #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:45 PM EDT

Q5: How can we be more transparent and efficient with the curriculum review process to ensure implementation? #MTedchat (Resources?)

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:45 PM EDT

@GarnerRockstars I completely agree… Staff & I have come to decision that we will adopt the standards as they come from the state #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Sep 20 @ 10:46 PM EDT

A5: Constant communication along all stakeholders. #MTedchat

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@erniem04 Check out the new MT Science Standards! https://t.co/KydpPWlFDr #mtedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@GarnerRockstars We will then put more energy into aligning resources to standards, & developing curriculum maps to cross content #mtedchat

KamRenae Sep 20 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5 #mtedchat Trust needs to exist first so that open and honest communication which is vital from start to finish can occur among all

St006C Sep 20 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5) Clear communication between dist, admin, and Ts. #MTedchat

wyowayne68 Sep 20 @ 10:47 PM EDT

a5) #MTedchat Two sides of this. Have to ask. Have to respond when asked not after it is written.

izzaboo Sep 20 @ 10:47 PM EDT

@cristama A5) Seems to me that interdisciplinary and cross-curriculum efforts would help with this a *lot*. #MTedchat

GarnerRockstars Sep 20 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A4: I'd love to see more MS & HS teachers work together to create real life projects #mtedchat

cbartow Sep 20 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5 Our distr has great 1-pager for math thx to @mtkristigaines. Helps us keep eye on prize regardless of curric. #MTedchat

PrincipalNyberg Sep 20 @ 10:48 PM EDT

A5: Taking your time. Biting off small pieces at a time to give everyone a chance to process and be heard. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Sep 20 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@izzaboo Completely agree…see it happen fairly easily at the elementary level… Seems to split across departments as students go up #mtedchat

rachelmarker Sep 20 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A5 b) Implementation, to me, comes back to standards. Strong instructional leadership helps Ts understand end goal. #MTedchat
