Unwrapping Standards
A component of the School Improvement roadmap of The Education Enterprise Steering Committee is identification of Power Standards and their associated Common Formative Assessments. Workshops around the state , funded by the Sustainability Grant from the Oregon Data Project, were a continuation of this important work during the 2009-2010 school year.
This version of the Unwrapped Standards is one interpretation of the state standards and indicators to identify critical content and skills. It is a resource for teachers, administrators, and district leaders. We recommend individual school teams go through this process for identifying specific concepts and specific skills in wording of academic content standards. Unwrapping a standard is done to develop a deeper understanding of the standard when planning instruction and assessment, and includes the identification of the key concept, content, and skills along with the big ideas, essential questions, outcomes, and performance descriptors. The development of common formative assessments is the next step in the process.
