Curriculum Plan Reflection

I think that this assignment required me to apply many skills that I will be needed in my future career. Planning one lesson or even a unit is a task that I have completed numerous times but compiling a whole plan for one year, let alone three years was a whole other challenge. It forced us to work as a group to come up with creative ways to meet all the math standards from grades 6 to 8. I was proud of my group and I for our ability to use our resources and previous knowledge to come up with some great ideas for quarter and semester long projects for our students. Being able to work with a group and cooperate is an important life skill and will definitely apply to my teaching career as well so I was glad that we were able to collaborate throughout the whole process. Also, since these were standards that we had previously worked with for our Lesson Segment Assignment, all of our work fit together nicely and we were sort of experts in each of our designated math topics. Creating the video presentation was the aspect that I was most worried about, however I felt that it was an effective way to deliver our plan and our video ended up working out just fine. This assignment was a valuable experience and gave me a taste for how much work I can look forward to when I have a class of my own!
