7th Grade Social Studies Unit Plan

Description

A. Create a two-week unit plan for your classroom by doing the following:

1. Identify the course name, grade level, and topic for the unit. (make for 7th grade Social Studies any topic)

2. List three learning goals that describe the most essential concepts and skills related to the unit.

3. Identify the state and national standards the unit will align with. Be sure that you cite the standards!

State Content Area Standards or Common Core State Standards. Go to your State Department (New York State) of Education’s website to locate the content and grade level standards

National English Language Proficiency Standards, such as TESOL or WIDA. If your state has its own ELP Standards, you can use those.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction.

Alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Observe at least one grade K-12 classroom with ELLs. Focus your observations on how the alignment between the learning objectives and ELP standards is achieved.

Discuss with your mentor teacher ways in which ELL progress in the language domains is measured and the types of assessment data utilized to inform instruction. Additionally, discuss with your mentor how Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and English language proficiency (ELP) standards can inform instruction.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Write a 250-500 word summary of your discussion and observation, and reflect on the application of UDL to your future professional practice.

Your reflection should address the following:

How elements of UDL could inform ELL curriculum and instruction

A brief explanation regarding alignment between ELP standards and learning objectives

Examples of assessment tools used to measure and document ELL progress

Examples of at least two types of assessment data used to inform ELL instruction
