Instructional Practices
Teaching from well-written, grade-level instructional materials enhances students' content area
knowledge and also strengthens their ability to comprehend longer, complex reading passages on any
topic for any reason. Using the following instructional practices also helps student learning:
All units must integrate the Florida Standards for English Language
Development.
ELD.K12.ELL.SI.1 English language learners communicate for social and
instructional purposes within the school setting.
ELD.K12.ELL.SS.1 English language learners communicate information,
ideas and concepts necessary for academic success in the content area
of Social Studies.
Health Literacy Concepts should be integrated as applicable.
HE.5.C.2.4: Give examples of school and public health policies that
influence health promotion and disease prevention.
Mathematics Benchmark Guidance:
1. Reading assignments from longer text passages as well as shorter ones when text is extremely
complex.
2. Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
3. Asking high-level, text-specific questions and requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.
4 .Requiring students to support answers with evidence from the text.
5. Providing extensive text-based research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
Social Studies instruction should include opportunities for students to
interpret and create representations of historical events and concepts
using mathematical tables, charts, and graphs.
Aligned Cluster: MAFS.5.MD.2: Represent and interpret data.
