Multi-grade Planning By Linda Kolmel October 2013
Rule #1 Good Teaching is harder than Bad Teaching
Rule #2 Not all teachers have the same skill set.
Rule #3 All good teaching does not look the same.
Rule #4 Small changes can make a big difference.
Ponder This… • Not teaching 2 or more curriculums • Class unity lost with separation • Standards Guide Instruction • CCSS builds knowledge systematically • NGSSS overlap in some areas • Plan with the end in mind; KUD • Know • Understand • Do
Begin with… • School Calendar • Using pacing guides, write topics into calendar • Color code for each grade • Integrate Cross-Curricular Lessons • Goals • Routines
Goals • Useable Strategies • Transfer • Have a good time
Teaching Routines • Model, Teach, Counter, Practice • What should it look like? • What should it sound like? • “What do we do when that happens?” • Reflect
Routines • Start of Day • End of Day • Questions • Finished with Work • Turn in & What to do • Classroom Paths
How Do I Ask A Question? • Direct Instruction • Guided Practice • Independent Practice
Academics will move slower in the beginning because you are teaching routines.
Daily Five • Read to Self • Work on Writing • Read to Someone • Listen to Reading • Word Work

Cross-Curricular • Differentiation • Content: Varied materials & resources used by all students as they work to meet the same standards • Process: Varied activities students participate in to process or make sense of the content • Product: Varied ways for students to shoe what they understand, know and are able to do • Discovery Education
Reading / CCSS ELA • Whole Group • Read Alouds • Vocabulary • Small Groups • Reading Text Selections • Leveled Readers • Reading Foundations/Skills orientated • Strategies & Skills overlap along learning continuum • Instruct Reading in Content Areas • Workstations
Math • Activity Guides • Van de Walle Teaching Student Centered Mathematics • AIMS Activity Books • Super Source • Envision Animated Videos • Workstation Activities
Science • Note Pacing Sequence (High, Moderate, Low) • Body of Knowledge Areas • Nature of Science • Life Science • Earth Science • Physical Science
Social Studies • Pacing Guide • Integrate in Reading • Brevard Website; Elementary Programs
