Norms for Today • Our Work will be Messy • Our Work may not have Closure • Dialogue will create Understanding • Each Voice has Value
Standards Matter! • They are the heart of our curriculum • Our materials support our core learning standards, not the other way around • We would not be here having this conversation today if standards did not matter

Consultancy Protocol • What should curriculum accomplish? • What are the responsibilities for each group? • District • School • Teacher • What structures could create greater sustainability? • What did you hear? What didn’t you hear?

Selecting Essential Learnings • Does it have endurance? Do we really expect our student to retain the knowledge and the skills over time as opposed to merely learning it for a test? • Does it have leverage? Will proficiency in this standard help the student in other areas of the curriculum and other academic disciplines? • Does it develop student readiness for the next level of learning? Is it essential for success in the next unit, course, or grade level?
Discuss & Identify • Which evidence outcomes in your grade/course are essential? • Discuss in small group • Share out with Large Group
