I can see how the Unit Organizer would be a helpful routine for both teachers and students. For the teachers, the Unit Organizer would help them to more thoroughly plan for a unit of study and help the teachers to more clearly identify the key ideas they want to ensure the students learn. For the students, the Unit Organizer will help them to understand what they will be learning and how what they are learning connects to other information they have and will learn. The Unit Organizer will also help students to study as they will know ahead of time what the key ideas are and what questions they should be able to answer about the material by the end of the unit.
