Our analysis of the Colorado Academic Standards provides:
Transfer Goals to inform your unit goals. Transfer Goals establish the purpose and relevance to the learning. They enable learners to transfer learning to new contexts/situations and promote more robust thinking activities.
Essential Understandings to inform your long-term learning targets. These identify the important ideas and core processes that are central to the discipline. Essential understandings synthesize what students should understand, not just know and do.
The "Know and Be Able to" sections tell us what students will understand in regard to content (know) and how students will apply this information (be able to).
