Middle School Unpacked Standards from teachers across the state of GA. Note, it is still best for every teacher using standards to unpack themselves since it is a learning process. It is just nice to verify many teachers have unpacked similarly.

Sample Units: Note these units have not been "field tested" yet to adjust and polish them, but it gives a start! NOTE: No sample units have been obtained yet for middle school. If you have developed some, please consider sharing.

According to teachers from across the state, these are the components of a good unit.

Other teachers developed a matrix /rubric to decide if a unit is well written.

By Day 7 of training, you will need to bring samples of student work. In order to gain permission to use student work, you will need to fill out a both a teacher permission form in addition to the student permission form and bring them to Day 7 training.

Note: Some of these units are a work in progress while others are more finished. Please note these are to be used as a discussion point while you do unit planning with a group of teachers in your same field. It is GSTA's hope to provide these to you as a service to its members and non members.
