  9. Activity • Look at the Social Studies Crosswalk (old to new). • Tally the POs no longer covered in the new Standard. • Tally the POs newly covered in the new Standard. • Look over the new Standard (Crosswalk, new to old) and consider which POs you will choose to emphasize in your class.

  10. Dropped POs • Open up the Crosswalk (Old to New). • Scroll through the strand that interests you. • Count the POs with N/A

  11. Dropped POs • Scroll to the end of the Crosswalk. • You’ll see the new POs listed by strand.

  12. New POs • Open the New to Old Crosswalk. • Look for the new POs here.

  13. Priorities • Refer to either the New to Old Crosswalk or look at the TUSD Social Studies Standard. • Select 5 or so POs that you think are critical for students to know within your strand. • Consider the language of the PO. • Do you prefer the language of the new Standard or the old Social Studies Standard?

  14. Summary • Learn the new Standard nomenclature • Look at what you are doing/have done and align it to the new Standard • Begin to use the new Standard • Prepare for next school year
