Finally, it provides overviews of the English language arts and math standards, describing what they are and are not, and what implementation means for teachers.
This report card grades Maryland state senators and delegates on their votes and actions during the 2011 legislative session. Most members received an "Incomplete" because there are still issues to address before the next election in 2014. The General Assembly will return this fall for a special session to redraw congressional districts after the census.

MSDE Presentation on Student Learning Objectives: MSEA 2013 Conventionmarylandeducators
The document discusses implementing high-quality student learning objectives (SLOs) as part of Maryland's teacher evaluation model. It explains that 50% of teacher evaluations will be based on student growth measures, including SLOs. SLOs require teachers to identify critical content, select quality measures, set rigorous targets, and develop best practice action plans. The document provides questions and examples to guide teachers in developing high-quality SLOs and ensuring they are ambitious yet attainable. After using SLOs for 5 years, teachers reported benefits like stronger collaboration and a focus on student progress and achievement.
El documento trata sobre la contaminación y el reciclaje. Explica los diferentes tipos de contaminación como la del agua, aire y suelo, y sus principales causantes. Luego, define el reciclaje como el proceso de reutilizar productos de desecho, lo cual es importante para ahorrar recursos naturales no renovables y energía. Finalmente, propone alternativas para fomentar el reciclaje como reducir la cantidad de desperdicios y evitar productos tóxicos o que no se puedan reciclar.
Este documento presenta una unidad sobre contaminación ambiental en la que los estudiantes investigan problemas como el mal manejo de basuras y residuos sólidos. Trabajan en equipos determinando roles y crean una publicación y folleto para socializar sus hallazgos ante un auditorio. La unidad integra diferentes áreas y busca crear conciencia sobre la importancia de los recursos y el cuidado del medio ambiente.
El documento es la letra de la canción tradicional navideña española "El Burrito Sabanero". Narra el viaje de un hombre a caballo hacia Belén para ver a Jesús durante la Navidad. Repite varias veces las frases "Con mi burrito sabanero voy camino a Belén" y "Si me ven, si me ven voy camino a Belén".
Este documento ofrece consejos para realizar presentaciones efectivas, incluyendo definir objetivos claros y ajustados al público, estructurar la presentación de manera lógica, usar imágenes y gráficos de apoyo de manera adecuada pero no excesiva, hablar de forma clara y con seguridad manteniendo contacto visual con la audiencia, y asegurarse de seducir y apasionar a la audiencia sobre el tema para que la presentación sea efectiva.
