Curriculum Integration and Instructional Alignment Unit Planning

Unit Title: / Time Frame: / Grade Level:
Unit Summary: Briefly describe what the unit will entail including curricular content and unit goals.
Step 1. Content Area Standards - Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) What are the skills, concepts, and content knowledge from the EALRs and GLEs that students will learn, apply, and develop deep understanding of through this unit? An integrated unit will help students meet standards in two or more content areas. Content areas include science, social studies, math, reading, writing, CTE and STEM.
Step 2. Essential Question(s): What are the questions (aligned to the core concepts and GLEs) that students will consider throughout the unit and that will develop their deep understanding? (This may be a central problem that students will address.)
Step 3. Key Vocabulary: What are the essential vocabulary words that students will understand and need to know in order to complete this unit?
Step 4. Instructional Materials/Resources: What aligned instructional materials/resources will students use throughout the unit? How will you ensure that students explore multiple perspectives and different points of views?
Step 5. Core Concept(s): Review EALRs/GLEs from two or more content areas to determine the focus, core concept, or enduring idea(s).
Step 6. Assessments: How will student knowledge, skills, and concepts from each targeted GLE be assessed throughout the unit? The unit may include one or more evidence of learning such as projects, presentations, performances, writing assignments (essays, letters, stories, poems, etc.), quizzes and tests, and service learning projects. How will students monitor and reflect on their own learning, identifying their preconceived ideas and keeping track of the changes in their knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors (e.g. goal-setting, self and peer evaluation, journal writing, portfolio assessment, etc.)?
Step 7. Related Activities: Review and incorporate into your unit related activities for effective instructional strategies to reach all students.
Additional Components to Consider:
  • Lessons/Activities: What are the daily lessons and activities (aligned to each targeted GLE) that students will do during the unit? List lessons/activities and use the lesson plan template for daily plans.

  • Teacher Reflection: Use this space to record your thoughts, ideas, and comments during and after teaching the unit. Include the elements that worked well and areas you would change the next time you and/or others teach the unit.
