All K- 12 standards and learning
competencies identified in our unit
are a focus of instruction and
assessment throughout our Unit
Plan.
The duration of our unit is
appropriate for the quantity and
significance of the standards.
Enough time is available to teach
each standard adequately, and no
standard receives unwarranted
emphasis.
Our learning objectives describe
specific behaviors, knowledge,
and/or products that relate to
standards and can be assessed
and understood at a deep level,
where relevant unit concepts are
applied.

Our Essential Question centers on
a philosophical, moral, or thought-
provoking theme that is interesting
and important to students and
requires them to think deeply
about the concepts across units
as they make their learning
personally meaningful.
Our Unit Questions address the
standards identified in the unit by
asking students to analyze,
theorize, and contemplate the
implications, connections, and
reasons behind and in support of
the content within the standards.
Our Unit Questions directly target
what is desired for students to
learn in this specific unit and are
broad enough to cover most of the
topics within the unit.
Our Curriculum Questions support
and provide understanding for the
Essential and Unit Questions and
directly address the objectives
and standards in meaningful
ways.
