**ELEMENTARY TEACHERS ONLY:**

SOOOOO, you want to teach _th (this is the grade level you would most like to teach) grade, eh? Do you know what a teacher is responsible for teaching in that grade? You are going to find out in this assignment.

In the document below this paragraph, you will find three sections to be completed. Based on your grade level choice, use your knowledge from the previous websites to fill in the first part of the chart. You must tell me WHAT curricular knowledge content you are responsible for teaching in EACH of the primary content areas (Math, Science, Social Studies, Reading/Writing/Language Arts). Put this content into the "Units" section of the first chart. Use the information from the websites to determine what unit within one of the curricular knowledge content areas you would like to write for this class. For example, in 4th grade science, you might be responsible for covering four main topics (electricity, weather, rocks, and human body systems). Those are the UNITS for 4th grade science. Next, determine what content and skills you will need to teach within ONE chosen unit. I.E., if you select Rocks, write that in the middle section of the provided form. To complete the bottom section, you would focus on your chosen unit (Rocks) and determine exactly what //content// and //skills// you would need to teach to address that focus (Rocks). Complete the second section of the worksheet. Don't forget--some skills are intra- and inter-personal (problem-solving, content reading, collaberation, etc.) Don't forget to think about ALL the content areas within this unit (math, reading, geography, writing, etc.) as each must be a part of your unit on "Rocks".

When you have completed the task, save it to your computer desktop and attach it in an email to me (later you will be posting it on your website).



**SECONDARY TEACHERS ONLY:**

SOOOOO, you want to teach secondary _ (subject matter), eh? Do you know what a teacher is responsible for teaching in that content? You are going to find out in this assignment. And you need to know because you may get offered a job teaching a subject that is NOT your first choice!

In the document below this paragraph, you will find three sections to be completed. Use your knowledge from the previous websites to fill in the first part of the chart. You must tell me WHAT standards/content you are responsible for teaching in EACH of the courses that are offered in your content area in either high school or middle school (whichever is your first choice). For example, if you were to get a job in a high school as a math teacher, you could be asked to teach any these courses: algebra, geometry, trigonometry or business math. Put this identified information into the "Course" section of the first chart. If you are hired in a high school as a Social Studies teacher, you might teach Civics, Psychology, World History, Geography, etc. In the sub-units section, determine some main topics you would cover in EACH of the courses. Next, determine what content and skills you will need to teach within ONE chosen unit. I.E., if you are a high school social studies teacher, you might focus on a Civics course and write a unit on the Legislative Branch. That unit should be written in the middle section of the provided form. To complete the bottom section, you would focus on your chosen unit (Legislative Branch) and determine exactly what //content// and //skills// you would need to teach to address that focus (Legislative Branch). Complete the second section of the worksheet. Don't forget--some skills are intra- and inter-personal (problem-solving, content reading, collaberation, etc.) Don't forget to think about ALL the content areas within this unit (math, reading, geography, writing, etc.) as each must be a part of your unit on "Legislative Branch".
