Creating Units for Instruction Common Concern
How can we meet more than one content statement in a lesson or unit?
• Many content statements are related; they can be clustered together and taught in conjunction with each other.
• The
Unit Organizer
is an example of how some teachers and districts are organizing their planning
.
Remember: When planning a unit containing more than one content statement, it is important to remember to include ALL of them in both the pre- and post-assessments.
Creating Units for Instruction Directions:
Use the unit organizer chart to create a unit of study for a grade or high school course.
• Use the standards document to identify related content statements. • Created a title for the unit • Share out.
Why a Model Curriculum?
…
the state board shall adopt a model curriculum…
The model curriculum shall be aligned with the standards,
to ensure that the academic content and skills
specified for each grade level are taught to students, and shall demonstrate
vertical articulation
and emphasize
coherence, focus, and rigor.
