Five E’s Overview

ExtendEnrichment

Five ’s Instructional Strategy

• The Five E Model is one way to prioritize student involvement in their own learning (both in terms of physical activity and active construction of understandings)

• This model is a version of a “learning cycle”• This Five E’s learning cycle suggests the design and

implementation of lessons to activate prior knowledge, shape the formation of new knowledge, and provide opportunities to use the new knowledge.

Sample Five E’s Lesson Plan

Lesson Planning Resources• Pacing Guide (including resources available)• Common Core integration• Item Specs. (grades 3-5)• FCAT Achievement Level Descriptions (grade 5)• Five E’s Model• Technology resources• Hands on lab/activity• Questions to stimulate student thinking• Common planning• Vertical Planning
