BPS Curriculum Process

Step 7: Create the End-of-Unit Assessment

    Create the end-of-unit assessment directly aligned to the "unwrapped" Priority Standards.

Step 8: Create the Unit Pre-Assessment

    Create the pre-assessment aligned or "mirrored" to the post-assessment.

Step 9: Plan Engaging Learning Experiences

    Design meaningful learning activities directly based upon the "unwrapped" concepts and skills and representative of additional vocabulary terms, interdisciplinary connections, and 21st-century learning skills.  Ensure writing and text-dependent activities are included in the engaging learning experiences.

Step 10: Gather Resource Materials and Select High-Impact Instructional Strategies

    Gather print materials and seek out technology resources that support the planned learning experiences for the unit. Also, select high-impact instructional strategies to use during instruction and related learning activities with the whole class, with small groups, and with individual students that have specific learning needs.

Step 11: Implement and Monitor

    Implement the units of study according to the pacing calendar. During implementation, evaluate student pre-assessment, formative and progress-monitoring measures, and end-of-unit assessment. 

Step 12: Adjust the Unit of Instruction

    After the unit, reflect and adjust the unit to continue to build a stronger unit.
