Course Description

This course provides participants with a thorough understanding of standards-based middle school instructional practices. It starts with determining what to teach and how to assess learning. From there it shows participants how to take exit standards and create grade level standards and unit level standards. Next daily lesson plans are developed that lead to the accomplishment of unit level standards, which in turn, lead to the accomplishment of yearly standards. Participants will evaluate on-the-market curricula while learning how to adapt commercial curricula for their individual needs.

Course Objectives

Participants will be able to:

1. Identify grade level standards.
2. Select units of instruction based on grade level standards.
