School Reopening Community: Learning Beyond COVID-19

To address this important year-end milestone, a cadre of preK-12 AFT members from across the nation has jointly designed standards-based, integrated content, offering capstone project ideas that are grade-level and developmentally appropriate. These projects will enable students to demonstrate learning in a variety of ways, such as writing a story or song, scrapbooking and counting objects in the home. These capstone projects can be utilized to wrap up the school year, be used to complete a voluntary summer learning program, or even serve as a re-entry into the next school year—whenever that happens. Teachers can adapt and modify the capstone project ideas, making them unique for their classrooms. All of the necessary resources have been provided (e.g., hyperlinks, activity sheets, question prompts, etc.) to make them easy to use. Most of all, we want students to feel good about all they know!<br><br>Find Capstones here: https://sharemylesson.com/aft <br><br>Grade-Band Themes:<br><br>Grades K-2: All About Me<br>Grades 3-5: We Are All Connected<br>Grades 6-8: The Power of Story in a Changing World<br>Grades 9-12: Overcoming Challenges Through the Lens of Social Justice<br><br>Download the capstone projects on Share My Lesson (https://sharemylesson.com/aft), and join us next week for a webinar to learn more: K-12 Culminating Capstones: End-of-Year Projects for Distance Learning Success, May 21 at 6 p.m. EDT. https://sharemylesson.com/teaching-resource/k-12-culminating-capstones-…
