Case: Time vs. Assessment
With the Georgia Standards of Excellence for 6th grade Mathematics, there is an extensive curriculum map that outlines the standards and projected time frame it should take teachers to teach the content and assess the students for mastery. The average time frame that is provided for each unit that is to be taught is approximately four weeks. There are some units that average more than eight standards that are to be taught in a four week period. Do you think teachers have enough time to effectively teach content and students master it prior to them being assessed at the end of the school term on state standardized tests?

Hi apePev,
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the majority that there is not enough time to properly address these standards. In my opinion, lack of time is one of the biggest issues that teachers face. I think that trying to integrate the concepts from this curriculum across other content areas is a great suggestion - it just may take up more of your planning time. Also, I would rely on homework for this math curriculum. I know the dynamics at home can sometimes keep students from completing their homework, but that seems a necessity in your situation. Remember that, although the goal is for students to master the content they will be tested on, it is also important for students to have exposure to what they will be tested on - even if they don't master that content. At the end of the day, it is your job to make sure they at least have had this exposure to these important concepts.

Comments: I like the solution as it brings up many ideas and strategies as well as both sides of the situation and realities of home life. Homework questions could be good exposure even though there really is not enough time for teachers to always go above and beyond on top of their other responsibilities and obligations. Great solution! |

Comments: I don't believe homework really helps achieve mastery goals unless it is reflection questions or open tasks. |
