MODULE 3

Case Study: Unit/Lesson Plan

Standards & Assessment

(200 pts) What is the Assignment?

Outline a unit plan with at least 5 lessons.

1. Choose a unit in your CTE Field to teach to your Case Study:

If you are currently in Practicum ED 295B, use this assignment to develop

your unit plan for your solo teaching. Discuss with your Cooperating Teacher

upcoming units and choose one to focus on.

If you are NOT currently in Practicum ED 295B, then you would choose any

unit in your CTE field that you think you might teach for ED 295B.

Since you know your Case Study’s background and development very well

now, it is important to choose something that is developmentally appropriate

and interesting to your Case Study.

Plan to teach your Case Study AFTER you have submitted your unit/lesson

plan and received feedback from your instructor (if appropriate). That will

happen at the beginning of Module 4 and then you will have until the end of

Module 4 to teach your unit/lesson plan to your Case Study.

2. Write out the objectives and assessments for the unit/lesson plans for what you

want to teach your Case Study. Use Unit Plan Outline (see template below) to

complete the following sections:

SECTION 1: Standards & Objectives

SECTION 2: Assessments

3. Provide a rationale for your unit/lesson plan that addresses the following:

How did your students’ interest, development, background, and/or prior

knowledge inform your unit/lesson plan design?

How did your colleagues and/or families inform your unit/lesson plan design?

Plan ahead: You have 2 weeks to complete this assignment

Submission: Submit to Laulima Assignments by the due date handout found in Modules.

Example #1

Why Are We Doing This Assignment?

The “bread and butter” of teaching is developing a unit/lesson plan that will help guide you

to accomplish your learning objectives. Because our lesson plans are now “standards-based”,

which means that the students’ score is based solely on whether they demonstrate the

standard or learning objective, it is important to know how to create those types of lessons.
