Sample History-Focused PLP

(View Complete Item Description)

This sample PLP was created from the perspective of a student who is fictional. Some of the student work, however, was either based on work done by real students or was actual work used with the permission of students. School-based materials - such as rubrics, etc. - were, when possible, created from actual materials used in Vermont schools today. It includes examples of how the following can be integrated into PLPs or used in the personalized learning planning process:Content-area course workIndependent studyExpanded learning opportunities (e.g., History Day)College planning

This sample PLP was created from the perspective of a student who is fictional. Some of the student work, however, was either based on work done by real students or was actual work used with the permission of students. School-based materials - such as rubrics, etc. - were, when possible, created from actual materials used in Vermont schools today. It is intended to show how the following can be integrated into PLPs and connected to the personalized learning planning process:Student art workContent-area classroom assignmentsExpanded Learning Opportunities (e.g., Poetry Out Loud)Career exploration

This sample PLP was created from the perspective of a student who is fictional. Some of the student work, however, was either based on work done by real students or was actual work used with the permission of students. School-based materials - such as rubrics, etc. - were, when possible, created from actual materials used in Vermont schools today. The student who created this PLP is a middle-schooler who is interested in STEM, 3-D printing, and Maker Faires. Participation on 3D Vermont has sparked his curiosity about careers that could involve 3-D printing, and you will see that curiosity reflected here.This sample shows connections between PLPs, the personalized learning planning process, and:Content-area class assignmentsExpanded learning opportunitiesMiddle level career exploration

Dream It, Build It, Launch It!

(View Complete Item Description)

This Super Lesson utilizes Project Based Learning to assist learners with designing, building, and testing flying contraptions as an introduction to Engineering. The goal of this project is to engage students in collaborative team work and to introduce students to the Science and Engineering Practices: Asking Questions and Defining Problems, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, and Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions. We have offered this Super Lesson as an 8-week elective course, developing and strengthening student interest in applied Math and Science topics. It could also be offered within upper elementary or middle school Science and Math courses. In addition, each week’s topic could be used as a stand alone mini-lesson if time is limited. We have worked to include multiple options within this unit to make it accessible to both general education and special education programs, including recommendations for modifications and extensions.

Forces and Interactions (3rd Grade Physical Science Unit)

(View Complete Item Description)

In this Unit, students embark on a mission to create a campaign which promotes seat belt use for a teenage audience. In the context of this project, students explore NGSS PE’s 3-PS2-2, 3-PS2-1, 3-5-ETS1-1, 3-PS2-3, and 3-PS2-4 while investigating the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces acting on an object. Through a series of collect evidence to write a claim based on evidence for why seatbelts are important.
