Science+Academy

I am interested in hearing what all of you thought about the training. I went in with a different set of expectations than what was the goal of the academy. I was hoping to look in depth at 5th grade TEKS and how they had changed. I felt that I needed to get my head around "my piece" of the puzzle before I worried about how it connected with the other grades. The activities were really great--hate it that I won't actually get to do some of them with my classes, but will try to use aspects of them with my TEKS. The changes look to make the TEKS more specific and definitely higher in their rigor. Robin
