1. The Performance Standards for each course
Each Standard is followed by ELEMENTS that indicate the specific learning
goals associated with it.
2. Tasks that students should be able to perform by the end of the course
These are keyed to the relevant Standards. Some of these can serve as
activities that will help students achieve the learning goals of the Standard,
and some can be used to assess student learning.
3. Samples of student work
As a way of indicating what it takes to meet a Standard, examples of
successful student work are provided.
4. Teacher Commentary
Teacher commentary is meant to open the pathways of communication
between students and the teacher. Showing students why they did or did
not meet a standard enables them to take ownership of their own learning.
