Pre - Planning

ILC Team Goal: To gather enough information in order to create a quality instructional plan that will guide
students to meet a specific standard(s).
1. What is a student need in this grade level/subject area? (Consider current curriculum, specific
instructional needs based on standards, skills, concepts and/or content)
Scientific vocabulary, students need to demonstrate an understanding of scientific vocabulary.
K-2: Life science
3: Earth Science
4-5: Physical Science
2. What evidence do we have to support that is a need? (Include specific data and the source; data
could include state, district, and/or classroom assessments)
Classroom assessments, pre/post science tests for grades 3-5 and NWEA MAP data for science
3. What are 1-2 state standards that could address this need?
S.RS.00.11-Demonstrate scientific concepts about the senses through various illustrations,
performances, models, exhibits, and activities.
4. Grade 3: E.ES.03.41 Identify natural resources (metals, fuels, fresh water, soil, and forests).
5. Grade 4: P.PM.04.35 Compare and contrast the states (solids, liquids, and gas) of matter.
6. Grade 5: P.FM.05.42 Describe the motion of an object in terms of distance, time and
direction, as the object moves, and in relationship to other objects.

7. How do we unpack the standard(s) into learning targets/objectives? Unpack the standard(s) to
determine the specific skills, concepts and context that students will need to demonstrate (i.e., SWBAT,
I can statements, KUDs, etc. Use the table below if needed)

What skills or processes will

student demonstrate?
Grade: K
I can construct simple charts from
data and observations.

Grades: 1-5

students demonstrate?

In what context?

I can specifically name the basic

needs of life.

I can create a project that shows

the basic needs of life.

I can read a vocabulary word.

8. How will we design the assessment to assess the learning targets/objectives? What type of
questions will we ask students to complete? (i.e., short answer, performance tasks, essay, verbal
response, multiple choice, etc.)
Words on the ceiling/wall/board, ect. "Point/walk to the word that means...", Socrative, Plickers,
Pre/Post Tests

Teachers being more intentional using tier 3 vocabulary during instruction.

What are the most important things we will do and say?

Format 3:
Materials
(What do we need to
prepare, create, and or
modify for lesson
implementation?)

Requiring students to use tier 3 vocabulary in oral and written responses.

Demonstrating knowledge individually during independent activities.
Use recycled materials for projects.
Create powerpoint and videos for hallway and cafeteria reviews.
Share powerpoint/videos in CAY OneDrive for teachers to incorporate in other
lessons.
Creating word signs for around the school.
