Introduction

Several teachers from WSFCS met and developed pacing guides in 2008 for South American & European Studies, a document that will undergo review and revisions as necessary. The goal was to establish a realistic pacing guide based on 126-160 actual instructional days full of suggested ideas to successfully cover the curriculum. Lastly, the committee members included relevant (and helpful) information for teachers to use based on best teaching practices that are research-based, so that teachers can use such resources to modify their instruction and empower them to develop features (such as Essential Questions) on their own.

Preparing students for the workplace, college, and an increasingly global society lies at the heart of Social Studies instruction. With the new graduation focus on preparing students for the 21st Century workplace, it has become even more important to develop strong academic students and prepare them in the best way possible to succeed in a global society.

How can the Pacing Guides be used?

• To guide instructional pacing so that key areas receive proper attention by including helpful information such as…

o Suggested number of days per unit

o Thematic concepts in each unit

o Key Terms/People/Places/Events – factual material to recognize and recall

o Vocabulary to help build a child’s academic abilities through word walls and word maps

o Target Goals for students to accomplish by the end of units

o Global connections that can be extensions of the NC Standard Course of Study

o The NC Standard Course of Study for easy reference

• To establish with teachers quarterly benchmarks for units of study that should be complete by the end of each quarter to insure a rich and complete curriculum. Students who transfer from one school to another during the school year con best be served by shared pacing between our schools.

• To foster collaborative planning among novice and master teachers by providing suggested curriculum elements (essential questions, global connections, vocabulary, )

• Pacing Guides will be made public to students and parents via website:

• Pacing Guides will be evaluated at the end of the first year and any district-wide recommendations will lead to revisions as needed. This is a living document and must continue to be perfected as years go by.

NC Department of Public Instruction’s cognitive level model: Bloom-Marzano hybrid (adopted-1989)

An Item Shells Approach to formulating questions for each cognitive level

NCDPI Levels of Thinking & Reasoning (as adapted in 1989 from Bloom and Marzano)

NOTE: Knowledge, Organizing, & Applying are considered lower-order cognitive skills.

Analyzing, Generating, Integrating, & Evaluating are considered higher-order cognitive skills

|Knowledge |

|Defining problems: clarifying needs, discrepancies, or puzzling situations |

|Setting goals: establishing direction and purpose |

|Observing: obtaining information through one or more senses |

|Formulating questions: seeking new information through inquiry |

|Encoding: storing information through long-term memory |

|Recalling: retrieving information from long-term memory |

|Useful Verbs: list, name, label, recall, identify, match, choose |

|Organizing |

|Arranging information so it can be used effectively |

|Comparing: noting similarities and differences between or among entities |

|Classifying: grouping and labeling entities on the basis of their attributes |

|Ordering: sequencing entities according to a given criterion |

|Representing: changing the form but not the substance of information |

|Useful verbs: categorize, group, classify, compare, contrast |

|Applying |

|Demonstrating prior knowledge within a new situation. The task is to bring together the appropriate information, generalizations, or principles that are required to solve a problem. |

|Useful Verbs: apply, make, show, record, construct, demonstrate, illustrate |

| |

|Analyzing |

|Clarifying existing information by examining parts and relationships |

|Identifying attributes and components: determining characteristics or parts of something |

|Identifying relationships and patterns: recognizing ways in which elements are related |

|Identifying main idea: identifying the central element; for examples, the hierarchy of key ideas in a message or line of reasoning |

|Identifying errors: recognizing logical fallacies and other mistakes, and where possible correcting them |

|Useful Verbs: outline, diagram, differentiate, analyze |

|Generating |

|Producing new information, meaning, or ideas |

|Inferring: going beyond available information to identify what reasonably may be true |

|Predicting: anticipating next events or the outcome of a situation |

|Elaborating: explaining by adding details, examples, or other relevant information |

|Useful Verbs: conclude, predict, explain, elaborate, infer |

|Integrating |

|Connecting and combining information |

|Summarizing: combining information efficiently into a cohesive statement |

|Restructuring: changing existing knowledge structures to incorporate new information |

|Useful Verbs: combine, summarize, design, imagine, generalize |

|Evaluating |

|Assessing the reasonableness and quality of ideas |

|Establishing criteria: setting standards for making judgments |

|Verifying: confirming the accuracy of claims |

|Useful Verbs: judge, evaluate, rate, verify, assess, define criteria |

An Item Shells Approach to formulating questions for each cognitive level (some examples)

KNOWLEDGE (Identifying):

Which _____________________________________ best defines __________________________________?

(fact, concept, principle, or procedure)

Which _____________________________________ is characteristic of ____________________________?

(fact, concept, principle, or procedure)

ORGANIZING (Classifying):

Which _____________________________________ is an example of ______________________________?

(fact, concept, principle, or procedure)

What completes this ________________________________________?

APPLYING (Problem Solving)

What is the true nature of the problem?

Which _____________________________________ is an example of ______________________________?

What is a possible solution?

ANALYZING:

What must _________________________________ consist of?

Given _____________________________________, what is the primary cause _____________________?

What is the relationship between ___________________________ and ___________________________?

GENERATING (Predicting):

What would happen if ______________________________________?

What is needed to solve this problem?

If ____________________________happens, what should be done to ____________________________?

On the basis of ____________________________, what should be done to ________________________?

INTEGRATING (Combining):

_________________________ and _____________________ will likely make/result in _________________?

How can ______________________________ best accomplish ___________________________?

EVALUATING (Judging):

What is most effective for ____________________________________?

Which _____________________________________ is better (worse) than ___________________________?

(fact, concept, principle, or procedure)

What is most effective method for _____________________________?

What is the most critical step in this procedure?

Which step in unnecessary in this procedure?

Which is the most effective (efficient) solution?

Why is _________________________ the most effective (efficient) solution?

-----------------------

“In Focus”:

Each chapter of the current adoption correlates to specific Competency Goals (CGs), but schools can instead focus on 2 principal CGs that are natural fits for the given unit; each CG is touched upon at least twice in the Pacing Guide

Core Curriculum for 6th Grade South America & Europe—

a list of top 100 Key Terms/People/Places/Events (see units)

• Days: in order to cover the entire curriculum, each unit contains an instructional window; however, instructors should look at the end of each quarter as a benchmark to aim for.

Loss of Instructional Time: each quarter takes into consideration loss of instructional time due to various school/district matters

Current adoption: each unit has been aligned to the current textbook adoption; however, instructors should be teaching the SCOS instead of the textbook

Unit EQs: What is the key learning for this unit, that serves as an “umbrella” for all the lessons? The unit EQ can address the Competency Goals (CG) that are in “In Focus” for the unit.

While the suggested number of days is important to cover the curriculum effectively, the numbers listed here are meant to provide a general “weight” to each unit’s place in a year.

Adapted from Thomas M. Haladyna, Writing Test Items to Evaluate Higher Order Thinking, Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1999.

“Lesson Essential Questions”= written in “student-friendly” language, contain a clear target for students, connect to other lesson EQs, and are a specific aspect of the Unit EQ.

EQs should drive instruction & be made visible for all students.

“Concepts”= broad topics of discussion that the “Terms/People/Place/Events”

provide specific examples to study & discuss; both are for teacher planning use.

“Vocabulary Builder”: content-based, students will use these terms regularly beyond the course; useful for students to refer to during a unit as a Word Wall

• “Target Goals”: a roadmap for unit mastery

• “Global Connections”: developing students for the global workforce through social studies.
