1. A Model of Content-Rich Curriculum LT 2a. I can describe the impact of content-rich curriculum on students’ college and career success.

2. Grade-Level Groups  Your grade-level EL team: Cheryl Dobbertin & Gwyneth Hagan  Examining the modules: through the lens of a teacher  Analyze the curricular structures (module, unit, and lesson level)  Analyze the instructional practices, pedagogical moves, etc.  Experiencing the modules: through the lens of a learner  Consider one’s own experience as a “Common Core era” learner  Based on one’s own experience, reflect on the implications for students

3. Grade Level Groups: Introductions  Name  Position/role  Your district, region, or school  Your particular interest in or connection to this grade level

4. Quote Strips Directions: Locate the quotes in the envelopes on your table.  Each person at your table chooses one quote from the envelope.  Read each quote aloud to the group. As a group, select one quote as a lens through which to view your work in this session while you are a learner “experiencing” the module. Consider where you see the ideas in this quote come to life in the curriculum.  After your experience some learning from the module, we will return to this quote to discuss what you noticed.

5. Experiencing the Module: Building Background Knowledge 4th Grade Student Learning Targets: I can notice new ideas and wonder about the lives of people long ago. I can answer questions using specific details from the text. I can show what I know by contributing to discussions.
