National Staff Development Standards

This text resource is being used to address the first part of Standards Mapping of the NSDC Standards, that is, the unwrapping of the standards into Content, Skills, Learning Targets, Big Ideas, and Essential Questions.
Let's practice unwrapping these National Staff Development Standards together using the implicit text option for each linked standard. Once it looks correct, we can then copy the text from here and add it in the explicit fields for everyone else to have access. To do this, you need to: *While viewing this resource, click the "Login" button. *Log in. *Click the "Edit" button. *If not open, click the "Standards" section in the form. *Click the "Edit" icon next to the standard you want to unwrap. *Click the "Implicit" edit icon to expand the unwrapping form. *Copy the text of the standard being unwrapped. *Paste the text into both the "Content" and "Skill" column fields. *Rearrange and delete portions of the pasted text in each column to reflect the Content or Skills. *From the completed Content and Skills, create the Learning Targets. *From the Content, Skills, and Learning Targets, write the Big Ideas. *From the Content, Skills, Learning Targets, and the Big Ideas, write your Essential Questions. *Comment in the Discuss area any concerns or other relevant information to others collaborating in the development of the unwrapped text for the Standards.

I think this is probably the easiest method I have seen so far. <br/>
<br/>
It is so much easier than the form. <br/>
<br/>
It allows everyone to work as a team and see the finished product.<br/>
<br/>
I don't see a disconnect at this point.

We need to make sure that the Essential Question aligns with the indicated Bloom's Level of the task.
Patty Sweet writes:
The Big Idea should be written in simple language. <br/>
<br/>
Look at the concepts and skills you listed on your graphic organizer.<br/>
<br/>
Ask: “What are the main ideas or enduring understandings I want the students to realize on their own after I teach them the concepts and skills?”<br/>
<br/>
Use student-friendly wording.
