A Pacing
Guide that is organized thematically for us in an 11th grade United States
History course.
This guide was created for Dr. M. Hale's CI 3100 Teaching High School Social Science course. I created the pacing guide with a fellow classmate, Garrett Williams, in the Spring 2002 semester. This guide is intended to help guide students and myself to gain oversight and time management for the semester. The calendar was based on the 90 day Spring semester for Watauga High School and five days were omitted to prepare for snow and other events that would prevent the class from meeting. The semester is organized thematically into eleven main themes: Expansion, National Identity, U.S. Government, Politics, War (cause), War (effect), Economics, Labor, Technology, Reform and Religion. This guide was based on and is in alignment with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for United States History. Two of the principles set forth by INTASC (#4, #7) are met with the completion of this pacing guide. This pacing guide provides evidence that I am able to use a number of instructional strategies to encourage student's in critical thinking, problem solving and performance skills. Also, the pacing guide illustrates my ability to plan instruction based on subject matter, students, community and curriculum goals. In our pacing
guide, Garrett Williams and I included a research project for the students
that required some research on the internet and to use time in a computer
lab to process and prepare their projects. This time allotted in the
lab and supervised by the teacher requires technology competency by the instructor.
Therefore, this guide demonstrates my ability to facilitate equitable access
to technology and apply it to increase productivity. This meets the
ISTE technology competencies (VC,
VIE).
