ALCA Mission (Commitment)“Identify Problems – Provide
Solutions”
• Listen to educators to identify where educators need assist in accomplishing their mission. (i.e., Where does the current system feel inadequate, slow, impossible to accomplish, fragmented, frustrating?)
• Listen to educators and provide solutions (whenever possible) to the statement, “Wouldn’t it be nice if…..?”
Standards
“Identify Problems – Look for Solutions”
“Wouldn’t it be nice if…?”

This is an overview – no time for significant processing.
Overviews provide opportunities to pushing information to the audience so they have the big picture as opposed having time to learn using effective instructional practices - learning with purpose.

What is standards unwrapping?

Standards Interpretation
This procedure is known as “unwrapping” standards and asks teachers to analyze standard statements’ explicit and implicit concepts, content, and skills…
Standards
...and focuses on the collective agreement regarding the interpretations of standards statements’ explicit and implicit expectations.
Standards
Two Forms of Vocabulary
• Skills-based Vocabulary (universal to all grades and subjects)
• Content-based Vocabulary (subject specific)
Standards
How do you unwrap a standard?
Six Basic Steps
Standards
First Steps to Unwrapping
1. Review standards and objectives for the essential or Power Standards (Blueprints).
2. “Unwrap” standards and objectives to identify the critical content (nouns) and skills (verbs).
Standards
Unwrapping Paper/Pencil Activity
Each individual needs:
Instruction Table for Unwrapping
ALCA Graphic Organizer for Explicit Only
Bloom’s Short Form
Single Sheet CCSS TABLOID
Standards
• Discuss the Unwrapping Standards Table
• Place Key Nouns in the Content Section
• Place Key Verbs in the Skills Section
Standards
Use the Bloom’s Taxonomy to identify and label verbs
with the Bloom’s Levels
Standards
• It is Important to Remember!
The central verb(s) alone is/are not sufficient information to assign any type of learning expectation. You must also consider the complexity of the task and/or information, conventional levels of prior knowledge for students at the grade level, and the mental processes used to satisfy the requirements set forth in the standard.

4. Explore Learning Targets as “I can” statements for improving student learning.Standards
• Why Learning Targets?
Students can't see, recognize, and understand what they need to learn until we translate the learning intention into developmentally appropriate, student-friendly, and culturally respectful language. ASCD March 2011 | Volume 68 | Number 6
What Students Need to Learn Pages 66-69
• Student-friendly language
• “I can statement….” creates focus.
Standards
One way to do that is to answer the following three questions from the student's point of view:
•What will I be able to do when I've finished this lesson?
•What idea, topic, or subject is important for me to learn and understand so that I can do this?
•How will I show that I can do this, and how well will I have to do it?

5. Identify Big Ideas (enduring understanding or overarching ideas) we want students to remember.
6. Write Essential Questions to guide instruction and assessment.

Move Forward One Step at a Time
• Have a Plan.
• Chunk it up!
• Don’t be a pusher!
• Don’t be part of the problem – Be a part of the solution.
• Give teachers TIME to process and move forward through the levels of understanding.
