Plan-Do-Study-Act Applied to Rigorous Curriculum Design.pdf
The delivery of a unit emphasizes the collaboration of PLT's addressing common pre-, post-, and formative assessments, assessment and curriculum alignment data, planning differentiated instruction, and multi-disciplinary problem/project-based learning.
Potentially an educator can belong to one or more PLTs that are site, district, or multi-district-based. Multi-district PLTs can focus on shared curriculum and assessment development and implementation. Thematic PLT's can involve students conducting units allowing them to analyze or evaluate student-generated data or products (e.g., water quality data, non-fiction writing focused on local communities, creation of locally-focused virtual museums, online academic competitions using wrapped common core items).
