Deconstructing Standards and Crafting Objectives

Assessment Description

Planning for instruction begins with identifying appropriate state content standards to be taught. Analyzing these standards provides the basis for instructional planning.

Select a grade level (K-8 elementary or K-12 special education) and a content area of your choice. Choose one standard from the content area. This standard will be the focus of your assignments throughout this course.

Using the “Unwrapping a Standard” template, analyze the standard and possible instructional strategies to teach the standard. Your analysis should focus on:

• The verbs used within the standard and correlating levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.
• How students will show evidence of mastery of each part of the standard.
• Appropriate strategies or methods of instruction for teaching the standard to meet the needs of all students
• Based on your analysis, write at least two developmentally appropriate learning objectives for the standard. Refer to the “Writing Competency-Based Learning Objectives.”

Support your analysis with three scholarly resources.
