How Teaching is Changing . . .English Language Arts• Balance of Fiction and Non-Fiction• Reading at Higher Levels• Focus on High-Level Thinking• Finding Evidence in the text
For Example

is saved by Fern?orHave you ever loved a pet in the way that
Fern loves Wilbur? Tell me about your pet.
For Example

How Teaching is Changing . . .Mathematics Focus on Problem-solving Focus on understanding the
concept not on procedures
Foundational Skills Collaboration Multiple Ways to Solve A
Problem
For Example . . .
Math Used to look like this

Two groups of students from Taylor Street Elementary School were walking to the library when it began to rain. The 7 students in Ms. Kimble’s group shared the 3 large umbrellas they had with Ms. Smith’s group of 11 students. If the same number of students were under each umbrella, how many students were under each umbrella? Draw a picture to help you solve the problem.
