Teacher Observation

The Curriculum Planning Gap

ACC

• Course Essential Questions (Big Ideas)
• Units of Instruction aligned to standards (What students should know and be able to do!)

Curriculum Mapping

• Short term objectives
• Long term goals

Intended Curriculum (ACC)
Taught Curriculum (?)
Learned Curriculum (Assessment)

We must evaluate teachers on "how curriculum units and assessments are planned and executed over time."

Essential Elements of Curriculum Planning

• Learning Expectations
• Curriculum Calendar (road map)
• Backwards designed unit plans (lessons and assessments)
• Individual lesson
