Examples

Unit plans take time to develop, but once completed the unit design or the unit template can be reused again and again. Saving each unit in digital format is important for editing and later use. Sharing your units across the school building, district, or with those servicing students of similar age and grade can ensure that students have access to the content they need. The unit examples provided here showcase the organization of a unit and elements within a fully developed unit of study.

Sample Unit Plans
The documents linked below provide a sampling of completed unit-planning templates. The unit planning template is structured as a table and lists the standards in the first few pages (science, social studies, English/language arts, etc.) followed by global activities aligned with the selected standards for the unit. These samples were designed for a variety of grade level(s) and contain both general and extended standards. When you select one of these samples for use, the unit plan is followed by the development of tiered plans that align with each activity and teach and assess all of the standards selected for this unit over a month (give or take) of instruction. Please see the section on Tiered Planning to design Tiered Lesson that provide detailed supports for learners in your class.
