What is a Module? A module is an instructional package that is aligned with the Common Core State Standards

What is a Math Module? • The modules are sequenced and paced to support the teaching of mathematics as an unfolding story that follows the logic of mathematics itself. • They embody the instructional "shifts" and the standards for mathematical practice demanded by the Common Core State Standards.

Math Curriculum Structure Grades Modules Lessons

What do Math Modules Include? • Description of the year long focus areas and sequence of lessons • Assessments (daily checks and for administration in the middle and at the end of each module) • Lesson plans • Lesson plan supporting materials (class work, homework, etc. )

What do Math Modules Include? Curriculum modules in mathematics are marked by in-depth focus on fewer topics. They integrate the Common Core State Standards, rigorous classroom reasoning, extended classroom time devoted to practice and reflection through extensive problem sets, and high expectations for mastery.

What does a Math Lesson Include? Each lesson is structured to contain: Fluency Activities Development of Conceptual Understanding Procedural Skills Problem Solving These components are taught through the deliberate progression of material from concrete to pictorial to abstract.

What does a Math Lesson Look Like? • • Fluency Practice (15 minutes) automaticity Concept Development (30 minutes) understand Application Problems (5 minutes) real-world Student Debrief (10 minutes) wrap up learning

How is Student Learning Assessed within a Module? • Assessment is part of the daily routine: – Problem Sets (as part of Concept Development) – Exit Tickets (questions about what was learned that day) – Homework (additional practice on skills they learned in class) – Mid-Module Assessment – End of Module Assessment

ELA Curriculum Structure Grades Modules Units Lessons

What Does an ELA Module Include? • Modules focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening in response to high-quality texts • Each module is intended to last a quarter of a school year (there are two additional modules that allow for teacher choice)

What Does an ELA Module Include? • All modules pair literature with rich informational text (including primary source documents and nonfiction) on the topic. • All modules embed routines related to written argument.

What Does an ELA Module Include? • Content is sequenced and aligned with the Common Core State Standards for ELA and Literacy • Modules may include several units • Each unit may include a set of sequenced progressions that build knowledge and understanding of major concepts • Daily lesson plans, guiding questions, recommended texts, scaffolding strategies, examples of student work, other resources

What Does an ELA Lesson Look Like? • • Opening (Introduce Learning Targets) Work Time Closing and Assessment Homework

What Does an ELA Lesson Look Like? • Students read a true balance of informational and literary texts. • Students build knowledge about the world (domains/ content areas) through TEXT rather than the teacher or activities • Students read the central, grade appropriate text around which instruction is centered. Teachers are patient, create more time and space and support in the curriculum for close reading. • Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text. • Writing emphasizes use of evidence from sources to inform or make an argument. • Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts.
