Putting It All Together!
Use prioritized Common Core Standards/Other Standards as the guide for what
students need to learn. Unwrap and assign Bloom’s Taxonomy Levels to Priority
Standards in order to determine what students should be able to know and do.
Using
PLCs
Develop and Use Common Formative
Assessments to determine whether students are
proficient in the skills and concepts the
standards require
Using
PLCs
Use the Formative Instructional Process to
build the skills and concepts.
Using
PLCs
Reflect collaboratively in PLCs/Data Teams
and determine instructional strategies that will
improve learning
