Embedded Files
In this unit, students see themselves as mapmakers, helpers, and community leaders. They explore what maps are and how symbols and keys help people find their way, then identify important places in their own town.
As students work toward the culminating performance task, they design and build a map that will help newcomer families feel welcome and find their way around the community. Students plan their layout, use map symbols and a key, revise based on peer feedback, and prepare their finished map for delivery to the Family Welcome Center. 2

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.
