This document outlines the PYP Week 6 plan for a 5th grade class at Pan American Academy Charter School for the 2010-2011 school year. The central idea is how people have affected the world with mixtures and solutions. Objectives include determining concentrations in mixtures and investigating chemical reactions. Assessments include teacher observations and student response sheets. Lines of inquiry focus on solutions, chemical reactions, separating products, and investigating mixtures. The plan integrates connections to other subjects and includes inquiry activities like completing investigations and creating chemical reactions. Materials needed include lab equipment and chemicals.

i thought before that its hard to make lesson plan but being just resourceful and with the help of different methods and strategies in teaching we can have our guide for highly and better teaching instruction:)..

Final-Developing Surface and Deep Level Knowledge and Skill through Project B...mmcdowell13
The following presentation is centered on supporting educators who are working towards ensuring students are developing mastery in content, cognate, and cognitive learning outcomes in their classroom. The presentation focuses on strategies, underpinned by research, that elevate a teachers practice to inspect daily instructional and assessment strategies, build and inspect curriculum to enable surface and deep level knowledge construction, and to design a learning environment that builds the capacity of and involves learners in understanding their learning and taking action to constantly improve.
The slide deck goes further, providing guidance to site and district leaders to develop systems of deeper level learning.
Core outcomes of the presentation:
- Understand specific practices that limit the impact potential of problem and project based learning in the substantial enhancement of student learning
- Understand specific practices that have a high probability of enhancing student learning in the learning environments that utilize problem and project based learning.
- Understand underlying cognitive principles and specific strategies teachers may utilize to create a learning community to discuss learning, design and implement projects to ensure surface and deep level knowledge, and work collaboratively to review the impact of learning with students.
- Understand key tactical approaches that support site and district leaders in building and sustaining deeper learning systems.
