Looking Back

• Spring, 2005
• Vertical Alignment
• Articulated the TEKS
• Reviewed how the TEKS were being assessed on TAKS
• Discuss vocabulary
• Summer, 2005
• Big Bundles for 1st Semester (Big Bundles 1-6)
• 3 weeks at a glance
• Discrete Bundles for 1st Semester (Discrete
  Bundles 1-18)
• 1 week at a glance or units at a glance

Reflections

• Comments
• Big Bundles are needed by all subject areas and
  grade levels
• Big Bundles give a bigger picture (the
  integration of the multiple TEKS) allowing
  district teachers (not involved in the process)
  to fully understand the focus of the bundling
• Discrete Bundles need to be completed at a
  district level to incorporate all teachers input
  and participation in the process
• A document is desired to easily determine where a
  specific TEKS is targeted

5
So What Does This Mean?

• 2nd Semester Big Bundles will need to be
• Well articulated - to the same degree of the
  Discrete Bundles (forms amended for more
  specification)
• Reflective of ALL articulation in the Vertical
  Alignment
• Each teacher is expected to complete these
  bundles to the this degree by noon of Nov 22nd
• We are not going to create Discrete Bundles for
  2nd Semester as a consortium
• This work will be completed by each district
  according to districts needs

We have learned.

• Teamwork doesn't tolerate the inconvenience of
  distance.
• Teamwork is working together even when apart.
• The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
• Teamwork means coming together, sharing together,
  working together, succeeding together
• Thanks for all the hard work!
