Learning Goal: / Students will learn the classroom rules and procedures for the class by developing a code of cooperation and SOP’s
Assessments / Pre AssessmentQuiz on equations and inequalities
Formative Assessments Cornell Notes
Collaborative Assignments
Homework
Exit Slips
Summative Assessment Unit 1 – Begins 8/15
Quiz
Unit test
Essential Question(s): / What am I going to learn this year? What are the rules and expectations for the class?
Progress Monitoring/Feedback Loop / If student has a low pre assessment or formative assessment, the teacher will monitor and possibly suggest before or after school tutoring to insure he is learning the unit adequately.
If the student has a 70 or below on a quiz he can study more and retake it within a 7 day period for full credit. If the student has below a 70, the instructor will provide real time remediation.
Higher Order Question(s) / What are we going to learn this year?
What are the rules and expectations of the class (to include: beginning class procedures, cell phone expectations, turning in assignments, restroom policies, etc)
What supplies do I need for this class?
Key Vocabulary / Honest, encouraging, respectful, and driven, prompt, prepared, productive
