We now have the tools, framework, and overall purpose that will serve as the backbone of our unit. I'm very excited to begin planning our assessments and activities!

It is somewhat frustrating though to be limited in how we create the SOI. https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334342558 2019-02-22 21:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334342558 Love that we will walk away from this workshop with a unit (or at least the start of one!) in hand.

The purpose is essential to crafting an IDU. 
2. The Global Context and ATL skills must be at the foundation of each learning experience throughout the IDU.
3. The Summative Assessment should be a performance of understanding, which students develop over the course of the entire unit. ]]> 2019-02-24 16:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584178 3 Take Aways aleshjam https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584197 1.  Find time to complete the ID Unit that we started here and try to implement this year (we have teachers who are willing now-so I know that goes against not starting in the middle of the year).
2.  With Chris, Jim and Beth (principal of NMS) recreate this experience for our AP's and teachers this summer and have them understand and write an ID Unit.
3.  The ID Unit is important for future disciplinary planning by teachers (the old saying two is better than one-if this is done correctly the teachers planning will share the importance). 

]]> 2019-02-24 16:04:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584197 1. Be very honest about the amount of time and collaboration it will take to create a unit so no one is caught off guard. jmeans5 https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584209 2. Be intentional about allowing time for teachers to work together; namely, MAKING time within hectic schedules.
3. Sharing the successes that we experienced here so that our fellow teachers can get EXCITED about what's to come!]]> 2019-02-24 16:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584209 3 Take Aways downschr https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584221 1.  Find time to complete the unit and also to read in the folks that we'd like to run with it.
2.  Prepare for a large contingent of folks to tackle this in the summer after our verification visit.  This will involve preparation and having those with a firm grasp (no pun intended) of concepts doing it.
3. Grading discussion needs to be had - where are we going, and how much are we going to be able to do - we don't want to be an anchor for the middle school - and we also don't want kids to go backwards when they get to us.]]> 2019-02-24 16:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584221 Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is ALREADY happening, organically, in our schools….it merely needs to be formalized to realize the richness that is there. https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584237 I have seen and heard that there are countless ways to connect disciplines....if you stumble upon something creative or "out there", please share....

Making units AUTHENTIC through GRASPS is what keeps STUDENTS and teachers invested]]> 2019-02-24 16:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jnandco1/vrukudbie386/wish/334584237 It would be great to have a retreat of some kind in order to spend a weekend really reviewing/sharing what we have learned.

Perhaps we will really try harder to make it happen by sharing our unit that we created over the past 3 days.
