  21. Extend Enrichment Five E’s Overview

  22. Five ’s Instructional Strategy The FiveE Model is one way to prioritize student involvement in their own learning (both in terms of physical activity and active construction of understandings) This model is a version of a “learning cycle” This Five E’s learning cycle suggests the design and implementation of lessons to activate prior knowledge, shape the formation of new knowledge, and provide opportunities to use the new knowledge.

  23. Sample Five E’s Lesson Plan

  24. Lesson Planning Resources • Pacing Guide (including resources available) • Common Core integration • Item Specs. (grades 3-5) • FCAT Achievement Level Descriptions (grade 5) • Five E’s Model • Technology resources • Hands on lab/activity • Questions to stimulate student thinking • Common planning • Vertical Planning Department of Mathematics and Science
