In this unit, students become problem-solvers. They revisit the data they collected in Unit 12 to prove that a shared outdoor space genuinely needs fixing, then design a solution that directly addresses what the data showed.
As students work toward the culminating performance task, they build a before-and-after Fix It Blueprint and draft a Fix It Pitch with convincing reasons. Students strengthen their pitch with feedback, explain why their solution and timing are right, and deliver their pitch to a real audience
Task Statement
Following is the rubric to be read to and discussed with students (cognates are highlighted in blue). The Spanish version is for bilingual classrooms.
The Implementation Guide, Progress Monitoring Checklist, Executive Function Facilitation Grid, Activity Lists, and Student Action Checklists are combined with Unit 14.
Teacher's Implementation Guide
The Teacher Implementation Guide is a practical companion that helps you bring each Future-Powered Classroom unit to life. Rather than providing a scripted curriculum, it offers a flexible roadmap that helps teachers create engaging, student-centered learning experiences while maintaining the integrity of the unit's goals.
Activity Lists
For a Future-Powered Classroom, an Activity List isn't simply a list of assignments. It's a collection of purposeful learning experiences that students select from based on their interests, readiness, learning goals, or the executive function skills they need to strengthen.
Facilitation Grid
Progress Monitoring Checklist
The Facilitation Grid and Progress Monitoring Checklist above are images. Please see your consultant for copies of both tools for implementation.
Student Action Checklist helps students recognize and celebrate the behaviors that contribute to a positive, collaborative classroom community. Rather than focusing only on academic learning, the checklist encourages students to reflect on the habits and executive function skills that help them become responsible classmates and successful learners.
