  Case: Little Content Knowledge
Mrs. Little found out that she was going to be teaching science a week before school started. She is unfamiliar with the content because she has never taught it before. She has not received many teacher resources because the textbook coordinator says that they are not anymore. She also has to teach social studies. How can Mrs. Little ensure that she is preparing her students for the end of year test withh more than one prep in middle school?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would suggest looking at the curriculum map for the standards that need to be taught and following that. There are numerous websites that are standards based that offer lessons and ideas. It is extremely hard without resources, but from experience I can tell you that it is sometimes great, because it allows you to incorporate, pick, and tweak ideas. It allows you to not be so closed minded to just what the school's resources gives.
