Assignment: Creating a Unit Plan: Template Guide

Introduction

· A brief description of your current (or fictional classroom)

· Grade Level & Content Area

· Total number of students – ability levels, gender, students with special needs, English language learners (ELLs)

· Other relevant information (such as socioeconomic status, family background, recurring behavior issues, etc.)

Stage 1: This FIRST stage is to determine the “Big Picture”; what you want students to learn, conceptually, at the unit’s conclusion. (For the purpose of this class, consider a unit to be three days)

· What is the content area? (e.g.: math, science, social studies, English…)

· Common Core State Standard: The state’s required standard of mastery

· Measurable Unit Objective: What you want the students to master at the end of the unit

1. The students will (measurable verb) by (activity) with (___% of accuracy)

2. The students will (measurable verb) by (activity) with (___% of accuracy)

Stage 2: The second stage outlines evidence of Learning including pre-assessments, formative assessments, and a summative assessment

· Pre-assessment: explain how you will measure student’s level of readiness and preexisting knowledge specific to the content chosen. Include how you will take into account student strengths, interests, and learning needs

· Formative Assessment: Explain how you will use formative assessments to drive differentiated instruction throughout the unit specific to the content you’ve chosen. Be sure to include how these assessments address UDL principals.

· Summative Assessment: Design a summative assessment that will measure the student’s level of unit mastery. You must include how this assessment addresses UDL principals, DI theory, and takes into account your diverse student population.

Stage 3: The final stage of the unit plan involves developing the activities and experiences.

Unit Goal: The final demonstration of mastery driven by the CCSS.
