Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materia.docxVannaJoy20
Tool for Analyzing and Adapting Curriculum Materials
Overview: This tool is designed to help you prepare to use curriculum materials, particularly individual lessons that are part of larger units, with students. It supports you to do three things:
1. Identify the academic focus of the materials;
2. Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance;
3. Consider student thinking in relation to the core content and activities;
4. Adapt the materials and create a more complete plan to use in the classroom.
Section 1: Identify the academic focus of the materials
Read the materials in their entirety. If you are working with a single lesson that is part of a larger unit, read or skim the entire unit, and then read the lesson closely. Annotate the materials:
1. What are the primary and secondary learning goals?
· What are the 1-2 most important concepts or practices that students are supposed to learn?
· What are students responsible for demonstrating that they know and can do in mid-unit and final assessments and performance tasks?
2. What are the core tasks and activities:
· What needs to be mastered or completed before the next lesson?
· Where is the teacher’s delivery of new information, guidance, or support most important?
· Where is discussion or opportunities for collaboration with others important?
· Are there activities or tasks that could be moved to homework if necessary?
Section 2: Analyze the materials for demand, coherence, and cultural relevance:
Use the checklist in the chart below to analyze the materials. If you mark “no,” make notes about possible adaptations to the materials. You may annotate the materials directly as an alternative to completing the chart.
Consideration
Yes or no?
Notes about possible adaptations
1.
Analyze for grade-level appropriateness and intellectual demand:
1a. Do the learning goals and instructional activities align with relevant local, state, or national standards?
1b. Are the materials sufficiently challenging for one’s own students (taking into account the learning goals, the primary instructional activities, and the major assignments and assessments)? Do they press and support students to do the difficult academic work?
2.
Analyze for instructional and academic coherence (if analyzing a unit):
2a. Do the individual lessons in a unit build coherently toward clear, overarching learning goals, keyed to appropriate standards? Name the set of learning goals.
2b. Is progress against those goals measured in a well-designed assessment?
2c. Does each lesson build on the previous one?
2d. Are there opportunities for teachers to reinforce or draw upon previously learned information and skills in subsequent lessons?
3.
Analyze for cultural relevance/orientation to social justice:
3a. Are the materials likely to engage the backgrounds, interests, and strengths of one’s own s.

Unit/Subject:
Instructional Plan Title:
Lesson Summary and Focus:
In 2-3 sentences, summarize the lesson, identifying the central focus based on the content and skills you are teaching.
Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping:
Describe the important classroom factors (demographics and environment) and student factors (IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, gifted learners), and the effect of those factors on planning, teaching, and assessing students to facilitate learning for all students. This should be limited to 2-3 sentences and the information should inform the differentiation components of the lesson.
National/State Learning Standards:
Review national and state standards to become familiar with the standards you will be working with in the classroom environment.
Your goal in this section is to identify the standards that are the focus of the lesson being presented. Standards must address learning initiatives from one or more content areas, as well as align with the lesson’s learning targets/objectives and assessments.
Include the standards with the performance indicators and the standard language in its entirety.
Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives:
Learning objectives are designed to identify what the teacher intends to measure in learning. These must be aligned with the standards. When creating objectives, a learner must consider the following:
· Who is the audience
· What action verb will be measured during instruction/assessment
· What tools or conditions are being used to meet the learning
What is being assessed in the lesson must align directly to the objective created. This should not be a summary of the lesson, but a measurable statement demonstrating what the student will be assessed on at the completion of the lesson. For instance, “understand” is not measureable, but “describe” and “identify” are.
For example:
Given an unlabeled map outlining the 50 states, students will accurately label all state names.
Academic Language
In this section, include a bulleted list of the general academic vocabulary and content-specific vocabulary you need to teach. In a few sentences, describe how you will teach students those terms in the lesson.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

14. Section 1The Secondary Science Content Domain Defining the Content Domain Deepening Our Understanding of the Science Content Domain
15. Defining the Content Domain In this section, you will use a narrative and a graphic to define the secondary science content domain, thereby creating a framework for your teaching that helps to make learning meaningful for your students. Key Message: It is your responsibility to understand deeply the content you teach in order to make learning meaningful to all students. CONTENT 7 min.
16. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) This section of the session is devoted to helping you understand the organization of the skills and knowledge their students will need to master in secondary science. Please look at the Content Domain Graphic on Handout 1.1 and individually summarize the graphic in step 1 of Handout 1.2. Be prepared to share your summary. 1 min.
18. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) Individually, please review the content domain article you read for homework on Handout 1.3. Add to the list key phrases you highlighted in the content domain article. Use the ideas shared from group to review and revise your own summary. 7 min.
19. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) Now with a partner, do a think-pair-share about questions 3, 4 and 5 on Handout 1.2. Rationale/Why are we doing this? 8 min.
20. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) How does the organizational structure of the Content Domain graphic compare to how you have previously thought about science? How might this illustration of the secondary science content domain inform your science instruction? How does each element of the domain fit into the structure of each of the classes or courses you teach?
21. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) How might this graphic inform your implementation of safety procedures as well as management of resources? Consider the statement near the top of the graphic that students of science should be exposed to “the inherent relationships between physical, earth, and life sciences regardless of how these topics are presented in school curricula.” Choose a topic under one of the discipline headers (Earth Science, Life Science, and Physical Science), and explain how it is related to a topic in each of the other two disciplines.
22. Defining the Content Domain (con’t) Please reflect on the question in Step 6 of Handout 1.2. How will you communicate the science content domain to your students to help them understand what they are learning throughout the year? Record on a sentence strip what you would say to introduce the content domain to your students. Please use key terms or phrases from your summaries to think specifically about the domain’s structure and organization. Try to write on the sentence strips the exact words you might use……. Once you are done, please post your strips on the back wall. 3 min.
23. Deepening Our Understanding of the Science Content Domain Please turn to Chapter 6 of the National Science Education Standards on Handout 1.4. The National Science Education Standards (NSES) are a valuable resources and outline what students need to know, understand and be able to do to be scientifically literate at different grade levels…. INSTRUCTION & ASSESSMENT
24. Deepening Our Understanding of the Science Content Domain In this first part of the session, you will spend five minutes clarifying the organization of the standards.
