How to unpack curriculum standards?
These are the steps in unpacking standards into learning targets:
1. Read the standards as a team.
2. Circle the verbs.
3. Underline the nouns and noun phrases.
4. Determine the number of targets found within the standards.
5. Write as separate learning targets.
6. Remember to keep the core language intact at all times.
7. Do not omit any part of the standard.
8. Determine the depth of knowledge required of the standard.
9. Pull the academic vocabulary from the standard.
10. Unpack all of the standards before digging into how the standards will be taught and assessed.
11. Read all of the unpacked standards to determine the standards you will prioritize. These are often called power standards, essential knowledge, or big rocks. Remember: the standards we have determined as essential are the ones we are going to spend the bulk of our time teaching, assessing, re-teaching and reassessing. These are the standards we can’t imagine our students leaving our course of study or grade level without mastering. Prioritization does not mean elimination. The other standards will still be taught. They are good to know or nice to know but a student could still progress to the next grade or course without mastering them at a high level.
