Final Steps for each Unit of Study Create a Track that addresses your learning gap. Using the web tool provided at your submission site, the description should provide the teaching objectives for the learning gap. The Track should also contain at least 4 links including one or more lesson plans and student content sites. The annotation for each link should contain the student learning expectations for that site. The unit should represent 1 — 2 weeks of learning for a student, assuming 30-50 minutes per day of student work. Using TrackStar, which was demonstrated in the Cookbook of the earlier phase, a teacher will "make a track" at http://trackstar.scrtec.org/ . Prior to creating their own track, teachers should visit and browse through the main TrackStar site. Each teacher creates his or her own track using a minimum of five URLs, one of which must be the unit selected in 3b. URL descriptions should include guided questions that address the learning expectations (copied and pasted from content standard site). These questions should encourage higher level thinking skills as indicated on the Profiler “Pre-Survey”. The unit is expected to take 1 to 2 weeks to teach. Once you "submit" the track, it is assigned a "code". You will be asked to create a password. You can search in TrackStar with that code and password for your Track to review or edit.
