In this unit, students look back on their year. They remember a moment when something felt hard, then name the goals and strategies that helped them grow and overcome it.
As students work toward the culminating performance task, they design and build a Success Guide for a future first-grader who will sit in their seat next year, including a page on knowing when to ask for help. Students revise their guide with feedback and share their finished work.Unit 15
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 16.
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.

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.
