Time frame is difficult to identify or follow for various learning opportunities and for unit as a whole. ESF curriculum unit requires that students engage in a thorough exploration of a theme, problem, issue or question. The degree of difficulty and the complexity of content are appropriate for learners. Relevance Learning opportunities are presented in ways that prevent students from making meaningful connections between their own experiences and the content. Learning opportunities enable students to develop an understanding and use of knowledge and skills related to issue or problem.
Tasks allow students to derive personal meaning from material.
The driving question does not serve as a meaningful question that can organize and drive the various learning opportunities of the ESF curriculum unit. The question is rich enough to help students learn ESF curriculum outcomes. The learning opportunities demand some investigation or research on the part of the student but mostly of the nature of finding out facts. Use of Technology Technology is not an integral, integrated component of the ESF unit . Learning ESF content depends on infusion of technologies through instructional, sequenced learning opportunities in support of student inquiry.
