Unpacking Content Standards
Time Frame: (2-3 hours)
Increasingly, educators throughout the world are obligated to teach and assess content standards established at the national, state, or provincial levels. However, teachers and curriculum designers often confront two common challenges as they seek to become "standards based" - 1) too many content standards and benchmarks, and/or 2) global or vaguely-worded standards. In this session, we'll explore practical ways to "unpack" the content standards in order to focus teaching around important ideas contained in the standards. A variety of practical strategies and tools will be examined.
Note: Participants should bring copies of their content standards.
Target Audience: Teachers and administrators at all levels.
