Standard 2 - CURRICULUM

Back to School (Lg.)

Welcome to the curriculum section of my portfolio. Students need to be able to think critically within a classroom. The Common Core was recently implemented in order to have fluency within lesson plans. Teachers have a certain curriculum that they must follow and learning standards they must meet. This part of my portfolio contains lesson plans and projects that have been completed at SUNY Cortland. Along with each lesson are the Common Core standards that correlate with the lesson plans. Along with each artifact in this section is a reflection that explains the artifact and its purpose and appropriate age level.
