In this episode:
Listen in as I talk about the two things you need to know about your students when you are changing grade levels.
We talk about:
-What you need to prioritize most when changing grade levels.
-What not to do when changing grade levels. 
-How to work with where your students  are at developmentally and not against it.
Quotables:
-The two main things I am going to advise you to do are: determine what is developmentally appropriate and get to know the grade level standards.
-Knowing what was developmentally appropriate for the fifth graders I taught that year helped me to plan not just academic turn and talk opportunities, but also short non academic talking opportunities, like when they could go from their tables to their cubbies to grab resources
- It was up to me to know my standards and make sure that I held them accountable for what they needed to know and not for what they would need to know in the next grade.
