Description
Instruction planning requires well-written learning objectives. A learning objective must be specific to the content being presented, measurable, and attainable by students within the restrictions of the class. Clear learning objectives keep the instruction focused and help the students understand the learning expectations. Learning objectives must also be aligned to academic standards. Accurate alignment will guide instructional planning and enhance student academic success.Aligning learning objectives to state standards is an important part in developing a unit of study. Units of study can last for several days, weeks, or longer.Use the “STEM Unit Plan” template to create a 5-day STEM unit plan. Your unit plan will focus on your content area, including cross-disciplinary content from all STEM subjects.Select a concept within your content area on which to focus and create an appropriate and descriptive title for your unit.
