Priority Standards ProcessPriority Standards Process
Step 1: Determine 3 – 12 priority standards Step 1: Determine 3 – 12 priority standards based on professional judgment for based on professional judgment for each course syllabi – collaborate with each course syllabi – collaborate with other instructors teaching same course other instructors teaching same course
Step 2: Complete the Collaborative Decision Step 2: Complete the Collaborative Decision Matrix as a group (one per content area) Matrix as a group (one per content area)
Collaborative Decision-Making Matrix
Rational for doing the Matrix:– Justify and keep CTE classes in SPPS by
showing our alignment to high stakes tests, MCA II, ACT, Accuplacer
– Justify our selection of the power standard by showing how it relates to school and life
Example• Step 1 – Select unit Career Exploration• Step 2 – Identify priority standards
Step 2 in the Process:Step 2 in the Process:Unwrapping the Standards we Unwrapping the Standards we
selected as Priorityselected as Priority

Process for Unwrapping Process for Unwrapping Standards:Standards:
Step 1: Select Important Instructional Topic Step 1: Select Important Instructional Topic (approx month long unit) (approx month long unit) In the example we used Career In the example we used Career ExplorationExploration
Step 2: Identify Matching Priority StandardsStep 2: Identify Matching Priority Standards
Step 3: “Unwrap” Selected Priority StandardsStep 3: “Unwrap” Selected Priority Standards
Step 4: Create Graphic OrganizerStep 4: Create Graphic Organizer
Step 5: Determine the Big IdeasStep 5: Determine the Big Ideas
Step 6: Write the Essential QuestionsStep 6: Write the Essential Questions
Step 3: Unwrap using Career Exploration example
What does unwrap a standard mean?Definition of “unwrapping”: The analysis of standards
and expectations to determine exactly what students need to:
• Know (concepts) – the important nouns– Identify concepts (nouns) by underlining them
• Be able to do (skills) – the verbs– Identify skills (verbs) by circling them
• Through particular context (selected learning activities)
Step 3: Unwrap Selected StandardsIdentify and apply necessary skills to seek, obtain,
maintain and change employment.
Understand the career planning process and develop an understanding of the relationship between educational preparation and career planning
All work experience students will know the essential rights and responsibilities associated with paid or non-paid work experiences
Example Unwrapping the Standard: FACS Child Development
• Standard: Analyze career paths within early childhood, education, and services.
• Benchmarks• A) Determine the roles and functions of individuals engaged
in early childhood, education, and services.• B) Explore opportunities for employment and
entrepreneurial endeavors.• C) Examine education and training requirements and
opportunities for career paths in early childhood, education and services.
Step 4: Create Graphic Organizer
• Enables you to represent each of the “unwrapped” concepts and skills in a way that makes sense to you
• Reveals “at a glance” all the learning targets (concepts and skills)
• Referencing graphic organizer sharply focuses instruction and assessment
• Should be able to teach from the Organizer
