Overview & objectives; CCSS and your subject areas

The two things that I found most helpful today was Backward design planning and collaboration among subject areas teachers. Backward design(understanding by design) Consist of three questions: Where are we going? (strands, competsencies, & objectives); How will we know when we have arrived? ( assessment); How will we get there? (content and learning activities). Answering these questions will assist in the planning of effective lessons. Googling 'Expand collaboration' to also collaborate with teachers at other schools outside of my school and country will be helpful for effective ideas to incorporate in my lesson planning and teaching.
