“It always seems impossible until it is done.” Nelson Mandela


What is a Long Term Plan?


An LTP is a document that charts how you have logically grouped and sequenced the standards-aligned learning goals.

Why create an LTP?


Teach better, and teach more!

If the path the goal is not efficient, our students will be underserved.

LTPs provide and organization.

LTPs…


1. Sequences Soulsville Standards logically.

2. Groups learning goals into units.3. Order units and plot them on the

school calendar

How will an LTP help me?


…purposefully prioritize actions that lead to the achievement of the ultimate goal.

…frequently ask, “Am I where I need to be?” …become a content expert and be able to

plan for student misunderstandings. …be liberated from the troubling cycle of

“day-to-day” living and planning!

Unit Plan

Developing a Unit Vision

At this stage in your planning process you need to answer the question, “What would it look like for my students to master the unit learning goals?”

Make sure that you can concretely describe in detail the most important things for your students to learn, and what it will look like for students to demonstrate that they have achieved the unit goals.


Essential Questions

Essential questions reflect the key inquiries and the understanding goals of the unit and thus serve to focus the unit and prioritize learning.

Enduring understandings is an inference that students are helped to draw or verify in the unit.


Essential Questions

SS: Whose story is this? Whose voices aren’t we hearing?

Math: How does what we measure influence how we measure?

ELA: What is the relationship between fiction and truth?

Science: How are structure and function related in living things?

Foreign Language: How might the context of a word help me understand words I do not know?


Enduring Understandings

Enduring understandings are the specific insights, inferences, or conclusions about the big idea you want your students to leave with.


Enduring Understandings

In a free market economy, price is a function of supply and demand.

True friendship is revealed during difficult times, not happy times.

Statistical analysis and data display often reveal patterns that may not be obvious.

Heating of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere by the sun drives connection within the atmosphere and oceans, providing winds and ocean currents.


Which Unit is Fitting?

Goals-BasedThematicProject-Based


Translating Standards into Objectives

• Translate learning goals into measurable, most-important, made-first, and manageable lesson objectives.


Creating Objectives

What are the key nouns, adjectives, and verbs that describe your learning goals?

What tasks and understandings are associated with the learning goals?

What knowledge and skills will students need in order to master these goals?

Creating our Soulsville Standards basically did this for us! *
