This is an 84-page booklet containing a detailed unit for teaching basic computer programming skills using an iPad app called Hopscotch. The unit consists of 8 lessons where students practice computational thinking skills through open-ended programming challenges. This lesson requires students to have access to iPads and the Hopscotch app.

Benjamin Bloom's research report on the Two Sigma Problem. The report points out that with education and tutoring, learners made significant progress. The challenge has been to develop a system where that is possible. With learner aligned technology and personalized learning, it is.

CESA #1 EL OER Project

This resource has 6 different graphic organizers that can be used to support English learners across different grade levels and content area subjects. Once you chose the most appropriate organizer for your content area I would suggest to have an EL use the same organizer for all units. Graphic organizers are essential learning tools for English learners.

CESA #1 EL OER Project

ABC EXERCISE CARDS is a great resource for ELs and it can teach a new vocabulary ( such as verbs) in a fun and engaging way. This resource uses EL strategy : total physical response and the whole classroom could do this activity.

Students rotate through a circuit of ABC posters every 3-8 minutes, generating words or phrases for each letter of the alphabet related to the topic provided.

This teaching strategy/activity can be used as an introduction to a lesson or as an evaluation/assessment.

The district ACP team will efficiently create a graphic representation of your district's ACP implementation using the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Infrastructure and ACP Component Rubrics. This will be used as a basis to identify gaps in ACP delivery and barriers for implementation. It will be the basis for the development or improvement of an ACP implementation plan.

This is a searchable database of the cornerstone documents of our government. It has more than 100,000 digitized copies of the National Archives most popular and significant manuscripts, photographs, maps, drawings and other documents.
The guide introduces educators and students to the National Archives' ARC. Searching in ARC to learn more about National Archives' historical documents could enrich a classroom activity, a homework assignment, or a research project.

During this session, participants will learn about the overarching priorities of the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and literacy. Alberti will discuss the major instructional shifts required by the standards, including the evidence behind the shifts. These same shifts will be represented in both consortia assessments. Additionally, Alberti will present a few recommendations regarding how to introduce changes in a thoughtful, concrete way to prepare both teachers and students for full implementation of the standards.

How do the Common Core English language arts standards differ from their predecessors? What do they emphasize? What are logical focus points for early implementation? The English and language arts standards depart radically from their predecessors with their insistence on text complexity and close reading skills.

This session, presented by David Liben from Student Achievement Partners, offered a look at various aspects of text complexity: how it is defined by the standards, as well as a range of measurement tools—including some newly developed and tested by the Race to the Text project—and how to use the tools for professional development. The focus on text complexity, close reading, and informational text has clear education implications as well. The presenter will examine some strategic focus areas for literacy instruction and explore ideas for bringing all constituencies to a fuller understanding of the Common Core standards and the features that make text complex.

To assist student in seeing the relationship between source documents and how to interpret information, students will collect examples of source documents.  Once items are collect students will journalize the source documents.  Students will also need to find recent news articles and write a summary of the articles read.

The following lesson is designed to help students explore the emergence of the American Indian Movement (c.1968 and beyond) in the context of the push for self-determination by native people, and within the broader movement for Civil Rights in American Society.

This resource would be appropriate for high school students, during a study of the Civil Rights Movement. It provides primary source materials for students to analyze using the APPARTS process.

This aligns to WI AIS Enduring Understanding #9 "American Indians and U.S. Citizenship".

This is the Teacher's Guide for Kenny Felder's course in Advanced Algebra II. This guide is *not* an answer key for the homework problems: rather, it is a day-by-day guide to help the teacher understand how the author envisions the materials being used. This text is designed for use with the "Advanced Algebra II: Conceptual Explanations" and the "Advanced Algebra II: Homework and Activities" collections (coming soon) to make up the entire course.

This agenda is to accompany the 2nd workshop in the UDL and WiSSS series.  Facilitators may use the agenda to divide the half-day workshop into smaller meetings.  Participants will find all resources linked in this one document.

This lesson is about trying to get students to make connections between ideas about equations, inequalities, and expressions. The lesson is designed to give students opportunities to use mathematical vocabulary for a purpose to describe, discuss, and work with these symbol strings.The idea is for students to start gathering global information by looking at the whole number string rather than thinking only about individual procedures or steps. Hopefully students will begin to see the symbol strings as mathematical objects with their own unique set of attributes. (7th Grade Math)

Regardless of the information we encounter, experiences to which we are exposed or examples we see, we only learn if we make a connection, experience some type of interaction or identify a context within which to place the experience. This post makes the connection that in reality, all learning is personal and explores the implications of this reality.
