Understanding by Design Model

6th Grade Sample Unit-Gates Foundation Unit

Figure It Out: 4 week Math/Lit Unit Summary comes from Gates then adapted for their buildings

Desired Results: CCSS Focus standards, teach to mastery level
 * Stage 1:**

Goals: What you want students to walk away with Essential Question: Provided by Gates Students will know....Students will be able to...


 * (This makes teachers unpack their standards...this is done before weekly planning)**

Acceptable Evidence
 * Stage 2:**

performance tasks: Module test is part of this. Some items came from Gates Other Evidence: Journals, inferencing, predicting, writing compare/contrast

//Part 1-Weekly Learning Plan//
 * Stage 3:**

Lay lots of background knowledge If it doesn't match a standard, it does not need to be done. Time to cut out what doesn't meet standards (even if it is a loved lesson) Show justification.

Allow room for diferentiation. AP versus regular classes

//Part 2-Pacing Resources & Materials// Set by Gates and tweaked. Use common vocabulary and language
