  1. DESK Contributing Resources

  2. Davis School District values teachers as professionals and therefore gives us all the opportunity to share our best lessons and ideas with each other. It is our chance to become a community of learners and share our knowledge of what works. LEARNING FIRST! Why do we have DESK lessons?

  3. Effective DESK Lessons are: • Aligned with DESK standards • Clear, concise, and creative • Models of effective practice What makes DESK lessons GREAT?

  4. Thank you for asking! It’s very simple to submit a lesson or resource to DESK. First, let’s examine what an effective DESK lesson looks like. How can I contribute to DESK?

  5. DESK Effective Lessons

  6. The DESK Template A template has been provided in order to make submissions easier to write as well as easier to use.

  7. Let’s take a closer look… …and learn how to write EFFECTIVE DESK LESSONS

  8. The Parts of the Template The template is divided into sections that will aid in creating a simple, easily understandable resource for all who view it.

  9. Example: 1st Grade Math or 5th Grade Science Course What grade is this lesson for? What is the subject of this lesson? Fill in the “Course” section as follows: Grade Subject

  10. Example: Number Sense or The Earth’s Surface Davis Essentials What standard does this lesson address? The full standard or part of the standard may be used here

  11. Example: Simple Addition and Subtraction or Earthquakes Skills and Knowledge What skill or specific topic is this lesson focusing on?

  12. Example: Ten Flashing Fireflies: Adding and Subtracting or Rumble Shake: Earthquake Cause and Effect Title When naming your lesson, keep in mind that it is the only thing displayed on the resources list. Imagine you are the teacher looking through the lessons…what information would you be looking for in the title? You may want to include in the title the skill the lesson addresses. So instead of “Monkey Math” you may want to title your lesson “Monkeying Around with Polynomials”. Title should be bold and ALL CAPS

  13. Example: Fabulous First Grade Lessons by Dr. Osaka Dogood or Mrs. Nelly, Mountainside Elementary Author / Source Give credit to the source of your lesson If you created the lesson around a borrowed idea, you can give credit in this way: “idea for lesson borrowed from _______”

  14. Example: John White, North Elementary or 3rd Grade team, South Elementary Submitted by Your name and school If you created this lesson or resource with the help of others, you can list all of the names or simply put your grade-level team

  15. Example: Students will be able to model joining and taking away sets or Students will be able to describe how earthquakes change landforms Objectives Describe what students will know and be able to do after the lesson has been taught

  16. Example: Students will listen to a story about catching fireflies, make connections to addition, and then model addition using counters. Lesson Description Briefly describe the lesson content and activities

  17. Example: • Ten Flashing Fireflies, by Philemon Sturges • Ten counters per student • Glue sticks, scissors Lesson Materials and Resources Create a bullet list of all materials needed to teach the lesson Common items such as computer or internet can be excluded

  18. Example: Read the book Ten Fireflies to students Students should predict the quantity of fireflies before each page is turned After the story, ask students to recall a part of the story while you illustrate it on the board Label the illustration with numerals and help students make the connection to addition Instructional Activities Step by step description of your lesson Detailed, clear, concise

  19. Formative Assessment Example: During the partner activity, observe as students model adding fireflies and connect to the number sentence. Ten Flashing Fireflies practice page What can the teacher do to assess if learning occurred? What activities or practice can students do to demonstrate learning?

  20. Extending the Lesson Example: To reteach, use connecting cubes to model addition, then have students draw model and write addition sentence. To enrich, students use larger numbers and a hundreds chart to explain and justify their addition sentences. This section is optional How can the same objective be taught in a new and different way? How can students achieve a deeper understanding?

  21. DESK Writing your DESK lesson

  22. First, decide on a lesson to share: • Do you have a favorite lesson? • Do you love a lesson a colleague has shared with you? • Have you ever wished there were more lessons to choose from under a standard on my.DSD DESK resources? • Next, open the template that is included in the module and write the lesson  • The following three slides offer a few reminders… Getting Started

  23. Remember… Effective DESKLessonsare: • Choose a standard from your grade-level DESK (see Module 1.1 for review, if needed) • OR • Align your lesson idea with a standard from your grade-level DESK • THEN • Fill in the DESK template as instructed in this Module Aligned with DESK standards Clear, concise, and creative Models of effective practice

  24. Remember… Effective DESKLessonsare: • Write the lesson with your audience in mind • Be clear with directions… have someone who hasn’t taught your lesson read it to see if it makes sense • Use concise language… say what you mean in as few words as possible • Be creative… the most desired resources are those that teach a concept in a new, interesting way; keep in mind the different learning styles of students and offer options for practice Aligned with DESK standards Clear, concise, and creative Models of effective practice

  25. Remember… Effective DESKLessonsare: • Lessons thoughtfully consider: • Learning modalities… include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning activities • Effective use of technology • Ability of students… are the learning activities appropriate for independent learning or will they require significant teacher support? • Appropriate use of vocabulary… using correct terminology instead of descriptive language, or “baby” words Aligned with DESK standards Clear, concise, and creative Models of effective practice

  26. Submit DESK Lessons to content supervisors using the templates on the DESK website • Attach any practice pages, rubrics, games or activities to the lesson submission • Share DESK lessons and resources on my.DSD with other educators Submitting a Lesson…
