Session Norms (1 min.)• We will begin and end on time.• We will be present and engaged.• We will be solutions oriented.• We will promote an environment of

collaboration and encourage each other to participate.

Session Goals (1 min.)• iCan identify the “heavy hitters” in relation to the

TN State Science Curriculum.• iCan deconstruct a TCAP/EOC formatted question

to identify the skills required to master the standard being tested.

• iCan identify the components of a 5E lesson and incorporate them in my instructional practices.

What are “heavy hitters”? “Heavy Hitters” are the

standards that…

1. Contain concepts that are difficult for students to conceptualize or

2. Account for large percentage of questions on the TCAP/EOC exams.

Identifying the “Heavy Hitters” ( 5 min.)

Using the TCAP/EOC Science Framework (white document in the middle of your binder) complete the following tasks:

1. Locate and Label the percentage & # of items associated with each of your standards.

2. Identify the 3 standards that carry the most weight on TCAP/EOC.

DECONSTRUCTING The Assessment Questions (5 mins.)

1. Select an SPI from one of your “heavy hitter” standards.

2. Find the question associated with this SPI in your TCAP Sampler (gold packet) and create a list of skills would be necessary to answer this

particular question.

3. List 2 or more activities you could use to assist students in mastering this specific SPI.

The 5E Instructional Model (15 Min.)

Using the SPI you selected earlier from the “Heavy Hitter” standards you will create a lesson based on the 5E’s. Your plan will include the following:

1. An Instructional Objective2. An SPI 3. Address each of the components

in the 5E Instructional Model
