Instructional coaches supported WD 7 1st grade during their PD day. The team splits up their time between the LA team and the math team. In the morning, the LA team worked on integrating the titles of newly arrived books into their UbD units. The LA team also discussed questions about the upcoming New Generation Science Standards and how they integrate into their current LA UbD units. As the day progressed, the afternoon Math team decided to focus on coding their UbD units with Transfer, Meaning, and Acquisition, Social and Emotional Learning Standards, and 21st Century Learning Skills. They also decided to create assessments for their upcoming units and integrating their math units with manipulatives to focus on teaching WD 7 students’ conceptual understanding of math content. Finally, our SEM staff supported the team by integrating their enrichment plans to each of the units and suggesting resources for their assessments.
