Answer these questions in the Zombie Survival Guide. An important part of teaching is understanding your standards. What are you required to teach? What does mastery look like? What materials will you use? How much time do you spend on each standard? These questions have to be answered for a teacher to understand what is going to be presented in the classroom. A way to begin this process is to select priority standards.
Read "Why Priority Standards" and watch the video of Ainsworth discussing priority standards. Once you finish watching the video, complete the Priority Standards Zombie Notebook Reflection. After you finish your reflections, you may move on to the next page.
