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

PARCC Content Framework Elementary Examples of Key Advances Focus Standards Fluency Expectations/Recommendations Content Emphasis by Cluster

MSDE Goals  By June 2012: Two units per grade/course  By June 2013: Remaining units for each grade/course  2013 – 2014: Add/edit/polish units

Jigsaw Activity Outcome: The participants will complete a jigsaw activity to become familiar with components of an MSDE unit plan.

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 group.

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 Outcomes 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: Are created by Maryland educators Provide learning experiences around which teachers may build lessons. Serve as a stimulus for lesson development

Lesson Plan VS. Lesson Seed What is different about these two documents? Compare an MSDE lesson plan with an MSDE lesson seed…

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 Multiple 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
