Course Description

The ability to deconstruct a standard by creating specific learning targets related to a district standard or Common Core Standard, allows teachers to not only create and implement activities to address each target, but to develop formative assessments to determine what aspect of the standard the student needs to master to successfully achieve that standard. By deconstructing each standard/objective, the teacher will have a clearer idea of what they want to achieve with each lesson, as well as be able to communicate to his/her students the goals of each lesson.
