Benchmark Assignment and Rubric
Targeted Essential Learning
Effective teachers will use research-based, best practices to
design, plan, implement, and manage instruction that is aligned
to elementary science academic standards. (InTASC 4, 7)
Assessment Tool Selected
Integrated Math and Science Unit Plan
Specific Performance/Task(s)
· Create a standards-based unit plan for an elementary
classroom.
· Identify and use a variety of materials and resources in the
unit plan.
· Use differentiation of instruction to meet needs of diverse
learners.
· Manage materials, equipment, and other resources to affect the
learning environment.
· Model and/or explain skills, concepts, attributes, and critical
thinking processes.
Relevancy of Task to Teacher Candidate
By designing a comprehensive math and science unit plan that
focuses on an elementary science academic standard, teacher
candidates will be able to teach science concepts and processes
that incorporate language arts and mathematics to elementary
students.
General Practicum Information
