We also go by state standards for our curriculum.  Our district gave a
copy of the standards to every teacher.  It also tells each grade level
where their main responsibilities lie.  The state chose the 6 Traits as
its writing assessment, also, and mandated "research based" phonics. 
We're still sorting out exactly what that means!  =3D)

We have peer teachers, who do not have their own classrooms, and one of
their jobs is to help the classroom teachers at all levels, K-8, design
and implement curriculum activities which will implement the standards. 
They also offer inservice activities which further the standards
instruction.

If you would like, I will see if I can get a copy of our standards booklet
and send it to you.  There must be a spare copy somewhere in the district!
 =3D)  Your own state department of education might be the best place to
start, so that you have the educational goals first and can design a
program that will meet the goals.

As some of you know, I recently applied for a new position in my district
as a peer teacher and literacy consultant. 

I just learned that I have been chosen!  I'm so excited, I don't know when
I'll come down from the ceiling!

Don't think this means I won't still be sending all the wonderful ideas I
find to the 6Traits and Edlist.  That kind of thing will be part of the
job I'm accepting, along with inservice, mentoring new teachers, and
developing thematic units.
