High Level Questions - It is important that students are asked and can ask high-level questions that require complex application of skills. This Blooms Taxonomy Teacher Planning Kit is a resource teachers can utilize to help them plan a variety of questions at different levels.
Language and Level of the Standard - NISD curriculum follows the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). It is critical that teachers teach to the level of the standard as it is written in the TEKS.
Lesson Cycle - The lesson cycle is a process by which the teacher selects activities, strategies, and materials that are appropriate for the learner to master the objective.
All NISD Curriculum is available on our Learning Management System (LMS): Canvas. Reach out to your curriculum coaches or coordinator if you cannot access the Canvas Curriculum page.
