  1. Core Content Coaching ModuleSocial Studies Grade 8 (Please allocate 45 – 50 minutes to view and discuss this module.) 3rd 6 weeks United States History Unit 1, Arc 2 The Revolutionary War and Arc 3 The Articles of Confederation

  2. Planning needs… • School calendar/Yearly Itinerary (YI) • Curriculum Road Map (CRM) • TEKS/ELPS/CCRS • Textbooks, Creating America, History Alive! • A resource for quality texts • A resource for higher order question stems • Lesson plan template • … and most important each other

  3. Yearly Itinerary, Pacing, SCA, Eligible TEKS Unit 1, Arc 1 The Revolutionary War Arc 2 The Articles of Confederation Yearly Itinerary information should be used along with school events calendar information. Have an accurate picture of available instructional time.

  4. Review CRM for Transfer Statement, Concept, Enduring Understandings, Essential Questions, Resources, Pacing

  5. CRM, Arc 2-Pacing, Vocabulary, TEKS When TEKS are repeated, still review them for comprehension. You will be able to confirm student’s understanding and vocabulary development. Make a list of words or phrases in the TEKS that your students might not understand or be familiar with and plan a strategy to teach these to the students.

  6. CRM, TEKS, Verbs, Word, Phrases Look at the verbs, phrases, and the content on this slide. Discuss how you will teach the lesson to ensure students’ mastery.Discuss: How will the verbs in the TEKS affect how you will teach the lesson? The student product? The questions you will ask?Discuss: What types of formative assessment will you use to gauge mastery?

  7. Look at the TEKS verb, words, phrases… How many parts are in the student expectation? • Do you understand what students need to master? • Do you understand what the TEKS expect the students to learn? • How will you teach/review the TEKS with the students? • How will your lesson reflect the mastery of the TEKS being studies? • Do the students understand what they need to master? • Can students identify the verbs in the TEKS? • How will you connect previously taught TEKS to the new learning? • How will you know when the student has accomplished/demonstrated mastery of the TEKS being studied? • How will the student know she/he has mastered the TEKS? Note: When introducing new strategies to the students, they may seem very labor intensive. As the students practice the strategies and develop their background knowledge and academic vocabulary, these strategies will be implemented faster. Once you have laid the foundation, the results will be that students will know and understand the TEKS. At the end of your lesson your students should be able to connect the new learning to the TEKS being taught and see relationship to prior learning.
