Summary
MSDE Unit Plan
Does Provide
• Information to help build understanding of the new standards and how they fit together
• Instructional resources (under development) • Ideas and activities for student-
centered instruction rather than teacher-centered instruction.
Does NOT Provide• Scope and Sequence
• Daily lesson plans
Break Time
Unit Plan: In-Depth Review
Outcome:
The participants willcomplete an in-depth reviewof an MSDE Mathematics Unit plan.
Unit Plan: Task
1. Note the sections on the foldable.
2. Review these sections in the unit plan.
3. Answer the following questions for each section:
• Why is the section important?
• When planning a unit, how might you incorporate the information from this section?
4. Use your foldable to take notes.
5. Discuss your answers within your partner.
Each component of an MSDE Unit Plan provides important information about the new curriculum. It is important as educators that we become familiar with the value of each component.

What is different about these two documents?
Compare an MSDE lesson plan with an MSDE lesson seed…
Look at one of the lesson seeds in your binder.
MSDE Mathematics Lesson Seed
When looking at a lesson seed through the lens of UDL, we need to know…
What IS UDL???

Spring Webinar…
Here is the link for the Spring Webinar on UDL…
Principles of UDL
3 Principles of UDL
Multiple Means of Representation
Multiple Means of Action and Expression
Mulitple Means of Engagement
The "what" of learning The "how" of learning The "why" of learning
Present information and content in different ways
Differentiate the ways that students can express what they know
Stimulate interest and motivation for learning
