EED 420 Wk 1 – Exploring the Standards

Imagine you have joined a new school as a science teacher for fourth grade. Before you can begin to develop lessons, you have to familiarize yourself with your state’s science standards. During the new teacher professional development workshop, you were asked to lead a session on writing objectives based on standard requirements. To prepare for this task, work on the following:

Research your state’s elementary science standards.

Since you will be teaching fourth grade, select a performance expectation at that grade level.

Write 3 developmentally appropriate and measurable objectives.

Identify 3 to 5 vocabulary terms related to your focus, and explain how you would teach those terms to students.

Cite at least one source using an in-text citation and provide a reference list.

Include a title page for all assignments! Also, organize your paper with headings, double-space, use 12 point Arial or Times Roman font and follow APA format.

Submit your assignment.
