TEACHER TALK
Curriculum compacting is a technique for content acceleration. Students skip work they already have mastered and complete more challenging content.
Be sure to schedule
time for students
to work on the
unit inquiry project
"Cultures in Our State." This week students find out what ethnic groups
live in their state and how the
groups and numbers have
changed over time.
