When asked last week by an administrator......."Do you have your standards?" I said sure! As a matter of fact, I have very low standards! Hahahahaha! Jokes aside, this entire time I have viewed my standards as something to simply satisfy administration. Now that I'm using them a little more, they are basically writing my lesson plans for me! Me being a new teacher, as many of us are, I find it hard to consume and make sense of all the lingo that teachers use. Up until this week, the word "standards" was used for nothing more than finding a nice girl to date. Now that I have actually looked into mine, they are quite simple and tend to make your instructional and planning time flow a little better. If you don't know what your "standards" are, look into them and start using them, you'll be glad you did.
P.S. The lady looks at the frozen turkeys in the grocery store and ask the young man...." Sir, do these turkeys get any bigger?" He replies...."Why no ma'am. they're dead."
Yes, the terms in education was very confusing last year. Essential question, critical friends, and passes to the restroom was also a problem for me. So you know the students had a ball with that. Once, I took the whole class to the bathroom because some many wanted to go.
