Dear Students and Parents,
For the last five years teachers at Bret Harte Middle School I have been teaching the new California Common Core State Standards which focus on developing critical thinking, analytical problem solving, and cross-curricular literacy. For these five years, teachers have had to create many of their lessons entirely from scratch and compile text sets independently to develop lessons that achieve Common Core standards. Now teachers and students will have access to cutting edge Springboard workbooks. Students will work extensively, but not entirely from these books, and will be required to bring the books to class unless we have separated a unit from the consumable notebook and placed it in a folder to be brought to class. Springboard notebooks will be collected periodically and I will grade selected sections to ensure that students are not only completing the work but understanding key concepts. The Springboard curriculum is composed of four major units. Two units will be taught each semester and each unit will contain a smaller test, formative assessment, and a large test also called a summative assessment or Embedded Assessment. There will be 4 total Embedded Assessments. Students will receive ongoing assessments and feedback through in-class and teacher corrections and repertoire to help prepare for the formative and summative assessments. At the beginning of each unit, students will be introduced to the big idea of the unit. We will engage in discussion around the main topic, skillsets, and look at the summative assessment, and discuss what skills we will need to develop to achieve our goals. Additionally, 7th grade will likely be reading "Tangerine" by Edward Bloor.
