This workshop will support teachers in planning cross-curricular unit plans that approach learning with a STEM/Social Justice lens. Participants will learn to explore big ideas in the curriculum and use a backwards design model. We will explore two unit plans and guide participants in creating units and lessons that address current social justice and equity issues. Participants will leave with a digital unit plan template, resources and strategies they can implement in their classrooms. The goal is to create units that encourage students to become change makers for the future using 21st century skills, while addressing the curriculum expectations.
