Definition
A structured instructional framework that organizes a sequence of lessons around a central theme, concept, or set of standards over a period of one to several weeks. Unit plans include learning objectives, essential questions, instructional activities, resources, formative assessments, and a culminating summative assessment. They are more detailed than a pacing guide and less granular than individual lesson plans.
