Preface Teams of Lake County teachers created the curriculum maps in order to ensure that all students throughout the district receive a common curriculum. The maps help ensure that all state requirements are taught and that the content is divided into teachable segments with appropriate pacing. The curriculum maps will guide your instruction but provide flexibility based on the individual needs of students. The maps are living documents and feedback is requested of teachers to ensure continuous improvement. All teachers are expected to use the curriculum maps, in conjunction with data, to drive instruction. The maps were designed for the instruction to take place by quarter. There is some flexibility within the quarters for mastery and re-teaching. The expectation is that teachers will finish the content within each quarter in its entirety. The maps have been structured in such a way as to scaffold student learning. Listed below are a few of the new or updated features common to all curriculum maps: Essential Question(s): o Provide application of the skills/concepts o Have more than one right answer which promotes student discourse o Increase the rigor in the classroom, by changing from teacher-centered to student-centered learning o Are referred to at the beginning, middle, and end of the lesson o Require you to make a decision o Promote critical thinking and problem solving o Encourage interdependence o Are open-ended Academic Vocabulary are: o Unfamiliar vocabulary that are essential to understanding new content within explicit instruction o Not necessarily the bold words in the chapter. o Cumulative and continuously used throughout the year. o Integrated into word walls, a research-based strategy that will facilitate vocabulary acquisition. 3

Preface Common Board Configuration Elements (specific layouts may vary by sites, but must include each of these): Purpose: For the student to know what is being taught and what the student will learn o Date o Benchmark o Measurable, student-friendly objective o Essential Question o Bell work o Agenda (Specific daily schedule) o Homework o Exit Strategy/Card Lessons that infuse reading, writing, and discussion are imperative components of every subject area. There should be daily: o Teacher to student and student to student discourse utilizing academic vocabulary. o Reading and authentic writing o Writing that includes higher-order thinking o Incorporation of effective reading and writing instructional strategies Maps are organized to include the following: o Pacing o Objective o Essential questions, content and understanding, benchmarks, and assessment o Appendix/ resources 4
