Discussion of Reading

Definition of Competency

Competencies at BDEA• Clearly written and broadly

defined learning outcomes• Enduring understandings

and skills students need in a specific discipline

• Relevant and necessary for future learning

Competencies at DP• Critical thinking skills

essential in a discipline• Broadly defined habits and

approaches to a subject

Example of Competency

Competencies at BDEA• EXAMPLE: Understand that

the cell is the smallest unit that can perform life’s functions.

MA Science Frameworks Central Concept• Cells have specific

structures and functions that make them distinctive. Processes in a cell can be classified broadly as growth, maintenance, and reproduction.

Example of Competency

Competencies at BDEA• EXAMPLE: Demonstrate an

understanding of linear equations.

MA Anchor Standard• Analyze and solve linear

equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Definition of Benchmark

Benchmarks at BDEA• Measurable learning

objectives by which a student demonstrates competency

Example of BenchmarkBenchmarks at BDEA

Understand that the cell is the smallest unit that can perform life’s functions1. Relate cell organelles to their functions2. Explain how parts of the cell work

together to perform life’s functions3. Explain the differences between plant

cells and animal cells4. Explain the differences between

eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells5. Compare and contrast a virus and a cell 6. Describe the cell cycle and the process

of mitosis. Explain the role of mitosis in the production of new cells

7. Explain the role of meiosis in the production of sex cells.

MA Frameworks “Content Standards”2.1 Relate cell parts/organelles (plasma

membrane, nuclear envelope, nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, ribosome, vacuole, cell wall, chloroplast, cytoskeleton, centriole, cilium, flagellum, pseudopod) to their functions. Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport).

2.2 Compare and contrast, at the cellular level, the general structures and degrees of complexity of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Example of Benchmark

Benchmarks at BDEA1. Calculate slope2. Identify linear relationships3. Graph linear equations using

appropriate scale, dependent and independent variables, and selected points

4. Represent linear relationships using tables, graphs, and equations

5. Recognize and use the slope intercept form of an equation

6. Convert between slope intercept and standard form of an equation

Champion’s Prioritized StandardsA-CED Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

1. Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.

8.EE Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations.

5. Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.

A-CED Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

2. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
