Target

	Select a standard (local, state, and/or national)
	Translate the standard into a student understanding
	Identify focus (essential) questions
	Map the knowledge & skills required to reach these understandings

Measure

	Identify a summative, performance assessment
	Map potential formative assessments
	Check assessments for aligned with identified knowledge and skills

The Learning Sequence

	Logically sequence the concepts students must connect to reach the understandings
	Brainstorm activities that you have used that address these concepts
	Order the activities to match the conceptual sequence
	Critique & identify ways to make the activities more inquiry-based and technology-infused
	Review the lessons to determine additional formative assessments that would enhance student learning and to fine-tune the summative performance assessment you wrote
	Develop rubrics
	Write lesson abstracts to complete your extended unit of study
	Fully develop individual lessons to allow students’ construction of understanding through inquiry and technology infusion
