How will the collaborative teams that attended the SIM Academy be expected to disseminate this info. to the rest of the OCHS faculty?

Unit Organizers allow students to take more ownership in their learning with the focus being on critical thinking and not just finding the answer. Content Enhancement Routines promote partnerships to increase achievement.

Key points that respond to the Unit Organizer self test questions

How can we get students to see the big picture?

The unit organizer can allow students and teachers to walk through the process of evaluating and analyzing objectives for a unit.

How can we assure we are meeting the standards and preparing our students beyond the classroom environment?

The unit organizer works in tandem with the standards and helps the educator align these core standards along with student need (taken from data analysis of pre-tests etc.) to determine student weak points. By educators using this organizer they can assess need and evaluate ways to address these weak points in their lessons so they can reach student need.

What are the best ways to implement this into my practice as a beginning to the CTA and SIM program?
