CURRICULUM EXCHANGE

 

What is the curriculum exchange?

 It is the best practices in the form of activities or other curriculum items that teachers have to offer. During the conference on Thursday, curriculum activities will be collected from teachers and redistributed to only those teachers who bring materials to share. The room the curriculum exchange will take place in will be announced at the conference.

 

What to bring?

Everyone has something that works well in the classroom. Usually it is an activity you created, modified or copied at some time during your career. We ask if you have submitted to the curriculum exchange in the past that you not re-submit the same activity. Please continue to make the exchange a success by sharing new ideas. Bring the following to the conference:

1) 75 copies of your favorite activity

2) A floppy disk or other media with the activity saved on it to submit to the WTEA for Association use.

 

Organization of materials:
1. Materials should include the activity with your address and school phone number written on it for the purpose of future questions, and amount of class time needed.
2. Include cost of supplies and an address for the purchase of special materials if needed.
3. The WTEA has developed at Curriculum Exchange Template - Please download your choice of document and prepare your lesson within this format. A link has been provided for you below. Our hope is this form will help you streamline your fantastic activities into a consistent format that will be the same for all the curriculum exchange participants.

 

Collection of materials:

On Thursday at the convention, activities will be collected until 11:30 AM (Note: This time is subject to change pending final program approval. Any time change will be announced previous to the keynote address on Thursday).  Participants upon dropping off their curriculum activity will be given a “Bundle Pick Up Coupon”. Activities will be sorted into bundles, and anyone with the previously stated coupon may pick up their curriculum bundle at Noon so they can look them over.
