Today, while I was helping in the office (this was my week at the front desk, helping to cover while some of the staff was out), I did some curriculum work in a way. I posted one of the teacher's curriculum to the Contextual Learning Portal, which is this awesome teaching community and resource online that shares lesson plans. If you are a teacher in the community, you can log on and share/post your own stuff, or you can always just go onto the site and browse the curriculum for ideas! But the "rule" for posting is that the curriculum has to be complete enough that any teacher could take the material and repeat your lesson elsewhere; in this way, your curriculum posting also has to follow somewhat of a certain "format."
So when I was transferring an IS183 teacher's curriculum to this site, I had to be sure to follow the right format while still sticking to the exact content the teacher created. It wasn't too hard (a lot of cutting and pasting, honestly!), but it was a great way to feel part of the teaching community! (And now I have another resource for lesson plan ideas!)
