Educator Tools for Evaluation of Units: Unit Template
Based on "Understanding by Design" by Wiggins and McTighe, this template was designed to be used by educators as a tool to evaluate Common Assignment Study units.
The Common Assignment 3 section (for teachers) of Science Unit: Genetic Testing and Bio-Engineering is designed to help students understand how heredity plays a key role in diversity among living organisms, as well as consider the role of ethics in genetic science. Students will conduct an investigation, create an editorial for Science Scholar Magazine, and assume the role of lobbyists to develop a presentation. For easy use and customization, files are available in PDF and Word.

To help drive innovation, we asked more than 4,600 teachers about the digital tools they use to collect the student data that allows for more tailored instruction. This report surfaces key insights that teachers, educators, and product developers can use to form a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities these tools represent.
