MSDE Unit Component -Overview Outcome: The participants will become familiar with the components of an MSDE unit plan.

Overview of Unit Components MSDE Unit Components

Unit Plans Provide “One Stop Shopping ” Unit plans incorporate information from:  Common Core State Standards for Mathematics  Maryland Common Core State Curriculum Frameworks  PARCC Content Frameworks  Maryland Educators  Current Maryland Toolkit  RTTT Projects  Appendix A (High School) 

Unit Component Categories Big Picture Build Understanding Instructional Resources PARCC Content Framework components

Big Picture  Overview  Enduring Understandings  Essential Questions  Vertical Alignment

Building Teacher Understanding  Teacher Notes  Possible Student Outcomes  Possible Organization of Standards  Connections to the Standards for Mathematical Practice  Content Standards with Essential Skills and Knowledge and Clarifications  Vocabulary/Terminology/Concepts  Common Misconceptions

Instructional Resources  Model Lesson Plan  Lesson Seeds  Sample Assessment Items  Resources  Interventions/Enrichments  Interdisciplinary Connections

Summary MSDE Unit Plan Does Provide Information to help build understanding of the new standards and how they fit together Instructional resources (under development) Ideas and activities for student- centered instruction rather than teacher-centered instruction. Does NOT Provide Scope and Sequence Daily lesson plans

Break Time

Unit Plan: In-Depth Review Outcome: The participants will complete an in-depth review of an MSDE Mathematics Unit plan.

Unit Plan: Task 1.Note the sections on the foldable. 2.Review these sections in the unit plan. 3.Answer the following questions for each section: Why is the section important? When planning a unit, how might you incorporate the information from this section? 4.Use your foldable to take notes. 5. Discuss your answers within your partner.

Each component of an MSDE Unit Plan provides important information about the new curriculum. It is important as educators that we become familiar with the value of each component.

Lesson Seeds and UDL Outcome The participants will: Become familiar with the format of an MSDE Lesson Seed. Examine lesson seeds searching for evidence of adherence to the Principles of UDL.

MSDE Lesson Seeds Facts Created by Maryland educators. Provide learning experiences around which teachers may build lessons. Serve as a stimulus for lesson development.

MSDE Mathematics Lesson Seed Domain: Cluster: Standard: Purpose/Big Idea: Materials: Description of how to use the activity: Guiding Questions:

Lesson Plan VS. Lesson Seed What is different about these two documents? Compare an MSDE lesson plan with an MSDE lesson seed… Look at one of the lesson seeds in your binder.

MSDE Mathematics Lesson Seed When looking at a lesson seed through the lens of UDL, we need to know… What IS UDL???

Spring Webinar… Here is the link for the Spring Webinar on UDL…

Principles of UDL 3 Principles of UDL Multiple Means of Representation Multiple Means of Action and Expression Mulitple Means of Engagement The "what" of learningThe "how" of learningThe "why" of learning Present information and content in different ways Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know Stimulate interest and motivation for learning
