Redesign Your Instruction Grades 3-4 & 5-6

Designing Lessons Using the 5 E's

Grades 3-4 & 5-6

Background

The 5E model was developed in 1987 by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study based on the research and findings from the work of educators J. Myron Atkin and Robert Karplus from 1962. The 5E model promotes collaborative active learning in which students work together to solve problems and investigate new concepts by asking questions, observing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions.

Rationale

The reason we are encouraging the use of the 5E instructional model is two-fold. First, the 5E model is a research based model that positively affects student achievement and empowers students to be life long learners. Secondly, with all the uncertainty surrounding the state of education due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are trying to provide access for students through the use of technology integration to successfully continue their education.

Disclaimer

Our intention is not to have you rewrite your entire curriculum. We are merely asking you to analyze your existing lesson plans to see how we can incorporate the strategies of the 5E model for both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments.

The NYSED proposed regulatory changes to increase information security and privacy measures to safeguard the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of students and school personnel. Starting July 1st, 2020, we must be in compliance.

By the time the publication of this Book Creator for Teaching with the 5E's is published, it will likely be after July 1st. At this time, we do not have a definitive list of what 3rd party applications are in compliance. Some of the tech tools in this resource may have to removed once a list is provided. Tools labeled with an asterisk (*) may not be compliant.
