Unwrapping the Standards: A Simple Process to Make Standards Manageable [Paperback]

Unwrapping the standards is a proven technique to help educators identify from the full text of the standards exactly what they need to teach their students. It provides clarity as to what students must know and be able to do. When teachers take the time to analyze each standard and identify its essential concepts and skills, the result is more effective instructional planning, assessment, and student learning (Larry Ainsworth).
