There's Even Good News About FCAT in the Grapevine!
My favorite part about unitedstreaming is creativity. As a 30-year veteran teacher, I have seen the pendulum swing in education from trend to trend and the present trend is data driven. Our teachers’ creativity is being compromised by standardized testing and curriculum mapping. The GOOD NEWS is that unitedstreaming offers teachers the ability to 
teach creatively with the standards.
I left this gift from Deanna Howell from Lime Street Elemenentary in Polk County for the end of the GOOD NEWS GRAPEVINE contest. She has made six incredible documents that correlate the new Florida Harcourt Science series to the Sunshine State Standards with a section for you to add your favorite 
unitedstreaming videos.

I would like to encourage all of you to check out this great documents that she is sharing with you. Feel free to make them work for you! This is what the DEN is all about! Deanna Howell really gets it!

Denna,
Thank you for sharing. I am trying to convince my friends in public school that united streaming is so easy to use that it makes teaching for the FCAT easier. If it is ok I am going to quote you and show how you are using it.
