NEW BLOG: on thematic curriculum design in English. Really nervous about this one! A long read (apologies) on how, two years ago, we rebuilt our English curriculum from the ground up. By no means me advocating for a specific approach, but just some thoughts about how we did, and why we did, what we did. Would love to know your thoughts!

@GauravDubay3@OneNoteEDU@Xris32 This is such a great idea! I’m slightly worried I’d go overboard and overwhelm the kids- how much is in yours and how do you teach them to use it?
Planning for misconceptions is a key difference between novice and expert teachers. Keeping texts the same over several years makes teachers better because it is hard as an expert reader to anticipate misconceptions but experience with a class gives plenty of egs! #Englishhangout
