My Curriculum Experience
I have experience in numerous set curriculums as listed below.
Letterland
Letterland is a story-based phonics curriculum.
In both my roles as a Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools volunteer and as a student teacher in Durham I worked closely with Letterland. As a student teacher I interacted closely with the curriculum and carried out teaching full units to students to engage them with phonics skills.
Bridges in Mathematics
Bridges is a comprehensive K-5 math curriculum.
I used Bridges in Mathematics closely during my time in Durham Public Schools. It blends learning through exploration and problem-solving which allowed me to engage students in their math learning. Bridges incorporates work place games to build math understanding. Number Corner is also utilized through a calendar medium.
Lucy Calkins Units of Study
Units of Study is a series of Reading, Writing, and Phonics curriculum.
During my time in Durham Public Schools, I utilized the Reading and Writing curriculums created by Lucy Calkins and TCRWP Colleagues. Each unit was structured in bends to create more focused goals. Each lesson was composed of a mini-lesson followed by student workshop time.
