K-3As we approach the September start of our new curriculum, there may be some wonders about how to navigate the new documents, what’s really new, what’s the same, what is the new terminology around this curriculum etc. This session will give a brief overview of the similarities and differences between what we teach now and will be doing in the new curriculum for Mathematics, English Language Arts and Literature (ELAL) and Physical Education and Wellness (PE&W). We will look at the architecture of the curriculum and how to interpret all the components regardless which subject you teach. Rest assured that you are not starting planning from scratch! There is LOTS of overlap between old and new!!!
