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.
This Professional Learning Module provides guidelines for implementing the Shell Center’s Formative Assessment Lesson, Estimating Length Using Scientific Notation. Educators can use this information to better understand how to apply the lesson, which is compatible with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), to their own instruction.
Pre-scoring videos contain segments of recorded lessons that anchor an observation rubric to actual examples of teaching. This guide can help a school system build and strengthen a pre-scoring process in which expert observers create examples of accurate and well-supported ratings of teaching.
This unit helps students investigate key events and ideas in westward expansion during the antebellum period. Students will use primary and secondary sources, maps, images, and an Literary Design Collaborative debate-focused module to build evidentiary claims, identify multiple perspectives, and consider causal relationships. For easy use and customization, files are available in PDF and Word. The unit can also be downloaded in pieces or in full.
