This slide deck provides the common messaging that all schools received during the 25-26 school year.

This module focuses on unpacking standards into "concepts" and "skills," which are essentially the nouns and verbs in a standard.  The concepts are what students need to know and the skills are what they need to do or demonstrate.  

In addition, it is important to understand the declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge that students need to learn.

• Declarative: factual information associated with the subject

• Procedural: application of information

• Conditional: knowing when to use the information

This module presents the next step of the clarity process after analyzing the standard.  When we break a standard into concepts and skills new questions arise that need to be addressed:

What underlying prior knowledge must students possess?

How might the concepts and skills within this standard be sequenced in a logical way?

This brings us to framing out our process through learning progressions to build that logical sequence that takes into account prior knowledge and focuses on our end goal.  The learning progressions are big picture, while the learning intentions (in the next module) are daily statements of learning.
