Adapted from an older post – 25/11/2019
Here I will be writing notes about the elements that will be looked for when reviewing EDSE3063 Unit of Works.
EDSE3063 Assignment 1 (Part A) called for the following components:
- Stage 3, 4, 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 content from the NSW Mathematics K-10 Syllabus
- Eight lessons (or more) covering the key ideas; designed in a logical, sequential and structured way
- Plan, overview, and/or mind-map
- Rationale for the topic
- Links to students’ assumed prior learning & associated learning for the unit
- Technology (incorporated into lessons) and literacy activities
- Title for each lesson
- Appropriate learning goal(s)
- Indicators for content and Working Mathematically
- Teaching and learning strategies
- Resource materials (activity sheets, videos, applications, spreadsheets, screenshots, photographs, web links)
EDSE3063 Assignment 2 (Part B) called for the following additional components:
- Structure: orientation, introduction, body, conclusion
- Alternate structure: Launch – Explore – Summarise – (Reflect/Apply)
- Example worksheets & resources e.g. Google Docs/Sheets/Slides
- Questions for students
- Working Mathematically (WM) indicators
- Assessment for (AFL) and of (AOL) learning
- Homework and/or follow up to the lessons
- Additional resources
- Lesson evaluation questions
Furthermore, NESA has a list of elements that unit of works should have, including:
- Unit description
- Syllabus outcomes
- Duration
- Stage or year
- Range of relevant syllabus content
- Integrated learning and teaching activities
- Differentiation catering to the range of student abilities and interests
- Opportunities to collect evidence of student achievement
- Subject-specific requirements
- Resources
- Reflection and evaluation
- Adjustments for students with disability, where appropriate
The items in bold will be the focus of the review process for each unit of work.
I will be first focusing on collecting activities from each website into a separate Google Doc, then slowly working through each set of lessons for ideas regarding teaching and assessment strategies, questions for students, and differentiation possibilities. The remaining criteria are of low priority for this review session.
