•A narrative and conversational description of the teaching and learning that will occur within the unit. Each paragraph of the overview has a specific focus and purpose.

Overview


13

•Foundational (K-5 only): These standards will be assessed periodically based on student need or as identified by the school phonics/fluency program. Those students who need extra practice with these skills should receive the support they need in small-group instruction or pull-out/push-in intervention.•Focus: These are the standards that will be guaranteed: taught, assessed, and re-taught if necessary. •Embedded: These are the standards that will be taught and assessed in conjunction with the Focus Standards. These standards provide instructional guidance that will allow teachers to teach the Focus standards in a deep and coherent manner that supports the depth and complexity of California’s Common Core State Standards. These standards are not assumed or ignored, but used intentionally, thoughtfully, and flexibly with students to allow them to learn content in a meaningful and transferable way.

Standards


14

•Enduring Understandings are those concepts we want students to remember ten years from now. They are the important concepts underlying the content. Essential Questions are questions based on the Enduring Understandings that we use to guide or drive instruction and assessment. The goal is that after instruction, students should be able to independently answer the Essential Question with a grade-appropriate version of the Enduring Understanding. In many cases, activities should be designed to allow the student to discover the Enduring Understanding.

Enduring Understandings and Essential Questions


15

•This section describes the prior learning, the current learning, and the future learning for each standard. This information can be used to understand the particular grade level expectations for each standard, as well as potential extension and remediation goals.

Connections Below and Above


16

•The process of chaptering breaks the unit into instructional segments. The Chapters of Learning should be determined by site during collaborative planning sessions within grade-level teams. There are many appropriate ways to break a unit into chapters. So different sites may make different chaptering decisions.

42

What: Teachers are identified to voluntarily participate in learning rounds to observe students and have their classrooms observed.

•Prior to learning rounds the principal and teacher leaders present an overview clarifying the purpose and focus.

•Groups of 3 or 4 observe classrooms in 15 minute increments to clarify:•1) how students understand the learning task •2) how students use academic literacy•3) how students engage in structured interactions •4) how students participate in checking for understanding opportunities….




43

What (continued) :•Between classroom observations and at the completion of rounds participating teachers engage in a facilitated dialogue to discuss what was learned.

•Debriefing dialogue is charted to clarify what has been learned.

•Teachers identify and articulate with the group next steps to further promote student learning classrooms schoolwide.

•Participants evaluate the process for improvements and clarify how to share learnings with school staff, leadership team and respective team members.




44

In addition, the four core TOSAs will continue with lesson design that will compliment the work done in CCSS unit design, and is CROSS CURRICULAR…
