This morning session is designed to help sixth and seventh grade social studies teachers delve into the Instructional Focus Documents, as well as all the other resources on TEKS Resource, in conceptualizing, writing, and enhancing through differentiation and other instructional strategies their lesson plans for the specified grading period. Specifically, we will explore ways in which you can spiral 8th grade STAAR TEKS into your curriculum as you teacher either/or sixth and seventh grade. As valuable will be the time allotted for collegial conversations and collaboration with fellow teachers throughout Region 8. Hope you can attend these 1/2 day workshops. The afternoon 1/2 day workshops accompany the morning sessions and allow for direct planning with the consultant as a resource. You will need to register for the morning and afternoon sessions separately.
