*Because the MYP curriculum is intrinsically interdisciplinary and I made cross references in all my Wiki posts felt I had this covered.
In my observations at Whitley County High School in
the classrooms of Ms. Ashley Hensley and Ms. Amy Hess on April 17th, I saw reification of KY Standards 1, 2, 3, 4 through the meticulous and
creative ways they both conducted review for their Grade 10 English End of
Course Assessments. In the case of Ms. Hensley through our discussion of
various pedagogical topics including NCLB, classroom management, ‘with-itness’
to keep students on task and Kentucky’s shift to CCS with its “I can”
statements, I also encountered the expertise of a consummate and adept practitioner
of KY Standard 7.
