Transdisciplinary Units 1 - 3

Below you can find the Transdisciplinary Units 1 - 3.

• (AM) Pre-Unit & Unit 1
• (MU) Unit 2

Unit 2 Remarks:

All of the Standards are relevant and based on priority. The standards documents in the previous post are where they come from for Science and Social Studies. The objectives are in-process. I simply put down an idea of what I think we'll cover. Much work needed in Part III. Parts I and II should be relatively solid (of course in need of tweaks). 

NJ CCCS Science and Social Studies (2009)

I've prioritized the standards for Science and Social Studies using the 2009 standards. I reformatted these into a new document, so you'll have to go to the Google Drive to view the standards for other grades.

Keep in mind, the standards are "By the end of 8th grade" (or 6th). And, of course, we can change these as needed. I'm just getting the ball rolling.

Updating Year Standards Scope and Sequence

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm in process of copying the standards text into our document as well as prioritizing the standards as we agreed. A few are deleted, however I reserved the document so the original exists. Not much movement, really just copy and past with a few adjustments. Document tile is Revised Standards by Unit 2012-2013 located in Curriculum and Instruction -> UbD Framework.

Documents to Review:

• Revised Standards by Unit 2012-2013
• CCSSI ELA Standards

In CCSSI ELA Standards, the standards are color coated by Unit. See Key below:

1. Orange = Unit 1- Who We Are
2. Green = Unit 2 - Where We Are In Place and Time
3. Blue = Unit 3 - How We Organize Ourselves
4. Purple = Unit 4 - How The World Works
5. Yellow = Unit 5 - Sharing the Planet
6. Red = Unit 6 - How We Express Ourselves

As we rearrange the standards I feel it is best to re-track in the CCSSI ELA Standards document to ensure we have complete coverage (without having the keep a separate list or re-evaluate the standards we are covering).

Thinking forward. We can create a tracker for ELA based on the standards we have in this document. Thus we'd track 3-5 Standards per unit, but they would be comprised on a Formative and Summative score. Thoughts?
