My district requires us to use the planning component in Eduphoria.

Click here for some planning templates (one PDF and one digital) that you can use to make notes of possible activities, websites, vocabulary, etc… These templates are NOT my lesson plans. My plans tend to be a bit detailed because a) my administrator likes to see detail, and b) I like to include details that I may forget. This is actually my favorite part! Everyone has their own method of engaging in lesson planning. I know that testing kind of sucks, but it’s not going anywhere, and it doesn’t mean that you can’t still plan an awesome set of activities that your kiddos will love and learn from. What kind of activities would support being successful with either of these questions? Understanding how your students will be tested is imperative to planning lessons that prepare them for success on the test. You can see that these are two very different kinds of questions. The first question is from the 2021 5th Grade Science STAAR test that was administered in 2022, and the second question is from the 2015 5th Grade Science STAAR test. I like to do this and then use the questions for quick exit tickets, or even quizzes.) (On a side note… You can also right click on the question and then copy and paste the entire question into a word document. It really is amazing! It’s so much easier than going through old tests on the TEA website. You can then easily choose your subject area, grade, and TEKS that you want to look at. Simply go to lead4ward, click resources, then choose IQ – released items analysis tool.
The easiest way that I have found to analyze STAAR questions is to use the lead4ward IQ Tool. I like to pull released STAAR questions and study how these standards are tested.
The reality of what we do on a day to day basis eventually culminates with a test. Here in Texas, fifth grade is the first year that students take a state science test. Depending on your state, you may or may not have a test for your grade. Identifying and comparing sound easy enough, but you need to develop lessons that build on prior knowledge, develop new understandings, and are rigorous. The verbs in this standard are identify and compare, so that is what your 5E cycle needs to focus on. The TEKS standard 5.8D states that students should be able to “ identify and compare the the physical characteristics of the sun, Earth, and moon“. I’m going to use the fifth grade Texas Essential Knowledge Skills (TEKS) science standard 5.8D for demonstration. Planning according to the 5Es is very flexible in that it can be used to plan for daily instruction, as I’m doing here, or it can be used for planning with weekly, or even entire unit, goals in mind. Unpacking the standard means that you are going to really study that standard in order to understand what the student is expected to do.īefore I get started, I want to emphasize that for purposes of this post, I’m discussing using the 5E Lesson Cycle as a daily planning guide. I recommend starting your plan by ‘unpacking’ the learning standard (the TEKS in my case). So, to top it off, how about a post about actually planning a single 5E lesson?

After taking a rather lengthy hiatus from blogging and working on Teachers Pay Teachers products, I am back at it… Yay!īy the time this post publishes, I will have already updated and reposted all previous blog posts, including my series Understanding and Implementing the 5E Lesson Cycle.
