The instructional coaches in Wood Dale District 7 continue to support teachers in developing their UbD (Understanding by Design) units. Recently, the coaches supported the 7th grade Language Arts team as they completed Stages 2 and 3 of their units. The teachers worked to incorporate both summative and formative assessments, informational text and literature, and strategies to address word analysis and grammar instruction into their units. Throughout the day, the team continually reflected on how the new Common Core Standards were addressed in each unit. The day concluded with discussion and research for their final unit entitled "Survival".
