Mathematics Unit Planning in a PLC at Work®, High School

Champion student mastery of essential mathematics content in grades 9-12. Part of the Every Student Can Learn Mathematics series, this guidebook provides high school teachers with a framework for collectively planning units of study in a professional learning community (PLC). The authors share tools and protocols for unwrapping standards, generating unit calendars, developing rigorous lessons, and many other essential team actions.

Use this resource to discover practical insight into collaborative planning and inspiring detailed models of unit planning in action:

• Understand how to collaboratively plan units for high school mathematics.
• Study the seven unit-planning elements, and learn how to incorporate each in unit designs.
• Review the role of the PLC at Work® process in enhancing student learning and teacher collaboration.
• Observe model units for Algebra 1, geometry, and Algebra 2.
• Receive tools and templates for effective unit planning.
