Solo Plan Requirements

The solo plan should contain all content for one content area (if elementary education either
Language Arts or Mathematics; if secondary, one subject/period) that you will be teaching for the
duration of your solo and needs to be submitted to your CT and US at least one and a half to two
weeks prior to the start of your solo period. Upon approval from your CT and US you must
then submit a copy of your signed Solo Plan Overview and Approval form to field services
before you can officially start your solo period. Solo plans should be formatted to fit the
Understanding by Design (UbD) Solo Plan Template (see below); however, if you have not
received training or utilized UbD, other solo plan formats from your coursework at Chaminade
University may be accepted upon approval by the Seminar Instructor and Field Services Director.
1. All solo plans must include Common Core/National Standards or other State Standards
(if doing student teaching outside of Hawaii) and State Teacher Standards.
2. You must include a calendar schedule of the content focus to be delivered each day
during the solo period of four weeks.
Example:
Day 1
Number Sense
Lesson - focus
on addition of
two-digit
numbers that
doesnt involve
carrying.

Day 2

Day 3

Practice with the

algorithm of

numbers that
doesnt involve
carrying

Field Trip to
Bishop Museum

Day 4
Using number
blocks to add
two-digit
numbers
involving
carrying

Day 5
Teacher Work
day

3. A bibliography and resources tapped should be included at the end.

4. The solo plan should address identified objectives that lead to meeting the standards.
5. All solo plans that do not adhere to the UbD must seek the approval of the Field Services
Director before using a different format or template. If you are unsure of other templates
that you can use please contact the Field Services Director for more information.

6. A pre- and post-assessment and at least two-three data points must be included in
the completed Solo Plan. All assessments must have an analysis of student
performance on the assessment. Names of students should not be used in any of the
assessments and other means of identifying student data must be used (i.e. Student A
or student 1).

7. Results/Reflections section of the Solo Plan should include assessment data analysis of
student performance, discussion of what went well, what should be done differently that
would improve student achievement. This section can also include a discussion of any
changes made as a result of assessment data during each week/period between data
points.

STAGE 1: Desired Results

Learning Goal(s):

Rationale: Language Arts is a critical area of focus for grade 1

and provides a necessary foundation for college and career
readiness. Students in grade 1 are learning to read both literature
and informational text to develop their comprehension skills. It is
vital for grade 1 students to start developing their critical
thinking skills in order to make connections that will result in a
deeper understanding of the skill/concept. Having a deeper
understanding of the skill/concept will help students to
communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively.
The Wonders program provides opportunities for students to

Chaminade University of Honolulu * 3140 Waialae Avenue Honolulu, Hawaii 96816-1578 * (808) 735-4711 * www.chaminade.edu

develop comprehension skills through the analysis text structure

and text organization in different texts. This plan will focus on
Unit 2: What makes a community? and Unit 3:What happens
over time? As children read for comprehension using different
texts, they will distinguish types of structures and organizations
using literature and informational text.
Critical Skills:
DOK 1: Students will be able to identify the different text
structures and text organization in literature and informational
text.
DOK 2: Students will be able to organize appropriate
information gathered from literature and informational text in
verbal and written form.

Big Idea(s):

DOK 3: Students will be able to cite text evidence to support the

authors writing.
Students will be able to

STAGE 2: Assessment Evidence

Both the summative and formative assessments will be based on informative writing that is
pulled from unit 2 week 5 and unit 3 week 1. Each prompt given will help guide students to
retell stories with key details while demonstrating understanding of the central message or
lesson. Through writing they will be able to use evidence from literary or informational
texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Summative
Assessment/
Performance Task:

Both the pre and post assessment will be on prompts for analytical
writing in Unit 2 Week 5 in Wonders. Both assessments will focus on
students ability to comprehend while making connections, and
gathering their ideas and putting it into writing. The pre-assessment
will be given on the first day of Unit 2 Week 5. The post will be given
on the last day before Thanksgiving during Unit 3 week 1.

Second language learners will be provided more emphasis on
listening and speaking collaboration, through picture clues,
sentence starters, and dictation if needed to help with
comprehension and writing.
The use of literature and nonfiction stories in the Wonders curriculum,
helps students to develop comprehension, in order to retell events that
happened. Eventually, students will be able to compose their thoughts
about the story into written form. There are three learner levels in the
classroom, and they are: Beyond level, On-level, and Approaching
level. The teacher forms temporary groups of students that are alike
enough in their development of comprehension and writing, to teach
them together for a period of time. In selecting a text and prompt for
the group, the teacher uses the level designation; thinks about the
strengths, needs, and background knowledge of the group; and
analyzes the individual text for opportunities to support students
successful engagement with comprehension, collaboration, and
writing. The teacher uses the text to guide children in expanding what
they know and what they would like to know. This instructional
approach will be used in the classroom. The post-writing prompt is
chosen because it is reliable, rigorous, and research-based.

STAGE 3: Learning Plan

I will be following daily lesson plans for Unit 2 week 5 and Unit 3 weeks 1. Each day is
broken down by what will take place that day. For each week, I will be conducting whole
group and small groups. Each time I meet with my students, I will be using the I do, we
do, and you do strategy to help get across both the concept and skill. For the not ready
group, I will be using more abstract materials to help guide those students in both their
reading and writing. Also, I will be using sentence stems. As for the students that are
beyond, the goal is to have them work independently through both the reading and writing
process.
