Unit Planning

Students have been hard at work developing two units for their future classroom. Students were given the task of decided what grade level/class they were interested then and creating 2 units, each consisting of 3 lesson plans (following the Madeline Hunter model).

Students developed lessons according to the standards on www.ksde.org, the new common core standards (http://www.corestandards.org/the-standards) or the national standards for science, religion and Family and Consumer Sciences. After determining standards, students gained more practice writing learning objectives for their lesson. They then brainstormed a hook and planned each lesson. All materials, worksheets, tests, quizzes, worksheets, scorecards, power points, notes, and handouts are being created by students. Students then included a modification for specified special need identified in each lesson to optimize student learning.

Students are gaining a better understanding of the work involved in lesson planning and discovering a variety of lesson planning resources they can utilize in their future.
