As we begin to dive into the power of high quality instruciotnal materials (HQIM), our district needed a focused plan to support teachers with a science of reading algined curriculum. The outlined plan and attached resources share with viewers the study behind a shift in reading instruction at our school, the curriculum choosing process, and finally the implementation plan. 

Three resources are included that all provide great tools and links.  These will help provide your school district a guide to aligning your essential standards to the Units of Study for Reading.

This second workshop in the series builds upon participant understanding of UDL and introduces the value of coaching.  Using key points from recent research, participants will understand the impact of coaching on their own practice and on student outcomes.  Participants identify an area of the UDL design framework to focus on with a coach and develop a plan.  The learning targets for this second workshop are...I can explain the role of coaching when implementing change in instruction.I can explain the varied support.I can determine my next step in building knowledge about and implementing UDL.

The Wisconsin Social Studies/Civics K-5 Suggested Scope & Sequence is divided by grade. Each grade has a theme, with K-2 having a common theme of “place” and 3-5 having a common theme of “Wisconsin and U.S. Studies”. Each grade has 4-10 topics, which could align to local units. This formatting was adapted from the 2018 History and Social Science Framework by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and
Secondary Education.

Each topic is further divided into planning ideas tied to specific grade-level indicators from the Wisconsin Standards for Social Studies (2018). These planning ideas include:
• Potential Essential Questions, tied to the standards
• Focusing Questions for the topic
• Driving (DQ) and Guiding (GQ) Questions from the Educating for American Democracy Roadmap
• Specific Social Studies Indicators met with this topic
• Important Terms and Points to Consider
• Supporting Resources to Consider, including lesson plans from trusted resources, and suggested additional texts such as primary sources and trade books.

The essential, focusing, driving, and guiding questions are meant to help guide instruction
and determine quality resources and lessons for use in the classroom.

Establishing the "why" of both Universal Design for Learning and curriculum mapping is the focus of the first workshop in this series.  During this first workshop, participant learning targets include... I can explain the concepts of UDL.I can describe expert learning.I can explain why clearly defined learning goals are important to both students and teachers.I can apply UDL lesson planning approaches to remove barriers for students.I can contribute to building a respectful, active, collaborative, and growth-oriented learning environment.This presentation could take place in a half-day workshop or broken down into shorter timeframes based on the learning targets.

Library plan slide deck from Mukwonago Area School District. This is a working document.

Think of the program like a College of Business, just in a high school. The program requires 6 classes: Principles of Business, Business Economics, Principles of Marketing, Principles of Finance, Principles of Management, and Business Strategies. There are also 2 option classes: Wealth Management and Leadership. All classes are project-based and offer real-world hands-on experience for students. Ideally students take the classes in order, but that can be challenging. We do allow students to take classes out of order based on their interest level.

I love the program and it has challenged my teaching. Students take a lot more ownership and control of their learning in these classes as it is taught differently than traditional classes. It increases community engagement with our program as well.

We have 4 of the 6 classes transcripted with our local technical college and the Business Economics class can count as the Social Studies Economic graduation requirement.

Students examine the properties, limitations, and durability of a variety of materials, then evaluate which of the materials would be best for building a model house. If used in its entirety, this lesson could take several science class times.In Materials 2: Recycled Materials, students are introduced to the idea that some materials can be recycled.
