Terminology Continued • Essential Standards - The critical skills, knowledge, and dispositions each student must acquire as a result of each course, grade level, and unit of instruction.  • Crosswalk- simply: "A crosswalk links two or more different classification systems." • Strand- A strand is a consistent thread running through a course irrespective of its subject content • Anchor Statement - further defineswhat students should understand ... standard to support the broad college and career ready standards statement.
