Each module provides eight weeks of instruction, broken into three shorter units. Each module includes seven assessments:
Six unit-level assessments that almost always are on-demand: students' independent work on a reading, writing, speaking, or listening task.
One final performance task that is a more supported project, often involving research.
Structure of a Year of Instruction
There are six modules per grade level
Of these six modules, teachers would teach four: Module 1, followed by Module 2A, then Module 3, then Module 4A.
Teachers will begin the year with Module 1, which lays the foundation for both teachers and students regarding instructional routines.
For Modules 2 and 4, Option B formally assesses all standards formally assessed in Option A (and some additional standards as well). However, teachers and students in Wake County will only be participating in Option A.
