Combined Curriculum Document

SS-8-GC-U-1

Students will understand that the American political system developed from a colonial base of

representative democracy by the actions of people who envisioned an independent country and

new purposes for the government

SS-08-1.1.2

Students will describe and give examples to support how democratic government in the United

States prior to Reconstruction functioned to preserve and protect the rights (e.g., voting), liberty

and property of their citizens by making, enacting and enforcing appropriate rules and laws (e.g.,

constitutions, laws, statutes).

SS-8-GC-U-2

Students will understand that the United States government was formed to establish order,

provide security and accomplish common goals.

SS-8-GC-U-3

Students will understand that the fundamental values and principles (e.g., liberty, justice,

individual human dignity, the rule of law) of American representative democracy as expressed in

historical documents (e.g., the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United

States) are enduring and remain significant today.

SS-8-CS-U-1

Students will understand that culture is a system of beliefs, knowledge, institutions,

customs/traditions, languages and skills shared by a group of people. Through a society’s culture,

individuals learn the relationships, structures, patterns and processes to be members of the

society.

SS-08-2.1.1

Students will explain how elements of culture (e.g., language, the arts, customs, beliefs,

literature) defined specific groups in the United States prior to Reconstruction and resulted in

unique perspectives.

SS-8-HP-U-2

Students will understand that U.S. History can be analyzed by examining significant eras

(Exploration as it relates to the settlement of America, The Great Convergence, Colonization and

Settlement, Revolution and the New Nation, Expansion and Reform, Civil War) to develop

chronological understanding and recognize cause-and-effect relationships and multiple

causation.

SS-08-5.1.2

Students will explain how history is a series of connected events shaped by multiple cause-and-

effect relationships and give examples of those relationships.

1. Learning Context and Implications: My unit is on life in the colonies. It is focused

on the culture and way of life that was prevalent during the period prior to the

Revolution. Anytime students are studying history it can be difficult for them to make

connections to the material.

Over 80% of the student population is on free/reduced lunch. A quarter of the students

are ESL and the school also serves a large ECE population.

Because of these factors, it will be important to use a variety of teaching techniques and

chunk activities in order to hold student’s interest. It will also be important to

incorporate technology into my lessons, a practice that benefits all students, particularly

low income students.

2. Essential Question Focus (Key Concepts/Big Issues):

How did different groups experience life in the colonies?

Task J-1 Reflecting on the Impact of Instruction

1. How many students met all of the objectives you established for this body of

instruction? How many students did not meet all objectives? Describe the

performance of the identified gap groups(s) in your class. What factors contribute to

their success/failure?

2. Did those students who were unsuccessful in meeting all objectives demonstrate

substantial gains in knowledge and skills as defined in the objectives? Were there

students who demonstrated very little gain or negative gain (regression) from pre-

assessment to post-assessment? How would you explain the performance of these

students?

3. Select the learning objective on which your students were most successful base on

your analysis of student learning. Provide two or more possible reason for this

success.

4. Select the learning objective on which your students were least successful based on

your analysis of student learning. Provide two or more possible reason for this lack

of success. Describe what you would do differently to improve student performance

as evidenced in samples of student work.

5. Since the conclusion of the instructional unit, what have you done to help students

who did not met or master the objectives to improve their learning? Students were allowed to correct test answers that were incorrect for partial points. Also, students were paired to help master a given topic to reteach to the class at the conclusion of the unit

6. What impact will the information gained from your reflection about your students’

performances have on your professional development decision?

7. Reflections and Connections to Kentucky's Teacher Standards: Initial Level

Reflection is a critical piece of becoming an effective teacher. It allows teacher’s to review

their work and determine what went well and what can be improved upon. It also fosters

professional and personal growth. For these reasons, I have used technical reflection to review

my performance in creating this unit compared to the external guidelines of the Kentucky

Page 37: Standards Based Unit of Study Template (Methods Pilot Fall ...

Exhibit 1.3.l.3.b Standards Based Unit of Study Template

37

Teacher Standards. After completing this unit, I believe that I have several areas of strength and

several areas for growth.

One area of strength I demonstrated in this unit is Standard 1: demonstrating applied content

knowledge. I believe that I have the ability to communicate concepts and knowledge to students

in a clear and appropriate way. I also deliver content knowledge in an order and way that is easy

for students to grasp. Along with that I used a variety of perspectives in the unit to help students

understand concepts in different ways. I also have the content knowledge to expand ideas and

concepts to help students meet objectives.

Another area of strength is Standard 3: creates and maintains learning climate. The learning

environment is essential for student success and sets the tone for the classroom. I believe that I

have the capabilities to create rapport with students and create a safe and nurturing environment.

I will do this through setting high expectations and using a variety of methods and strategies to

meet diverse student needs. It is also important to create a community through small group work

using flexible grouping as well as whole class instruction. I believe I will be able to provide

students with clear expectations and standards to create a classroom environment that is both

emotionally and physically safe for all students.

While I have many strengths, I also have several areas of improvement. As a new teacher, I

believe that one area in which I can continue to improve is Standard 2, designing and planning

instruction. I will need to continue to work on creating and implementing activities that engage

all students and create meaningful learning experiences. Another part of instruction that I will

continue to work on is making sure that objectives are aligned with standards, activities, and

assessments. I will refine my ability to create activities that require higher level thinking and

facilitate multiple levels of learning.

Along with continuing to improve designing and planning instruction, I will also work on my

ability to implement and manage my instruction. I believe this goes hand-in-hand with designing

instruction and I will work to improve using engaging instructional strategies and implementing

instruction based on contextual evidence. Procedures and flow of classroom time and materials

are essential to student engagement and understanding. This is a concept that I will better

develop as I work with my own students and get a feel for the school environment and culture.

Finally, I feel that Standard 7: reflecting and evaluating teaching and learning is both a

strength and area for growth. I am currently not teaching in a classroom, so it is difficult for me

to accurately evaluate student learning through data. I believe this is another skill that I will fully

develop when I start teaching in my own classroom. I do currently reflect on my actions and

how I can improve and grow to become a better teacher. I believe that reflection should happen

daily for a teacher and I hope to continue to grow and learn from all of my experiences.

Task J-2

Communication and Follow-up

1. Describe several ways in which you introduced the unit and provided feedback

throughout the instructional unit. What information did you provide to the

groups listed below prior to instruction, during instruction and after instruction?

How did you communicate that information?

2. I

n this unit most the information I communicated with students was one way

communication that did not require feedback from them. We did go back to look

at what students did and did not understand to help redirect instruction for

mastery of the content. Because I am not a teacher of record and do not have a

classroom, I did not communicate with parents for this unit. I did communicate

with colleagues about ideas and feedback on how to improve instruction, and the

unit as a whole.

3. I

n the future I hope to use more two way communication with all three groups. I

think it would be beneficial to talk with the students about what did and did not

work instead of only discussing strategies with colleagues. I also think it is

important to get parents involved in communication.
