Planning for Next Year: Unit Design Workshops
(Clock Hours: 3)

This workshop is designed for teachers familiar with and new to integrated unit design. All participants will come away with new knowledge on how to refine or develop units integrating Core Literacy Standards and Catholic Identity Standards, as well as a step by step process to train others in the practice. By the end of the workshop each participant will leave with an outline of a unit designed to teach in his/her specific classroom. Participants will be provided with all materials from the session (PowerPoint, handouts, etc.) to share with colleagues. Participants may also want to bring resources such as text books, plan books, past unit ideas, and laptops.
