37504 MTSS_eLearning: Unpacking Standards for Tier 1 Success Course 1

Course Description: MTSS: Unpacking Standards for Tier 1 Success will be an eLearning course that will guide classroom teachers through a system of unpacking content standards. It will begin with extracting the content and skills from the standard and then unwrap them into learning progressions that students will need to go through to have mastery in that standard. These learning progressions will help classroom teachers understand the areas they will need to scaffold the content and/or skills for their students.

For full credit, teachers will choose 2 different content standards to unpack.
