Guiding question: What do students need to know/be able to do to achieve college and career readiness? What should institutions provide to enable learners to achieve college and career success? How do we know when learners are meeting expectations for college and career readiness and success? What do institutions need to enable learner readiness for college and careers?
Understand the relationship between the levels of the College and Career Readiness Standards, Karen Hess’s Depth of Knowledge, the Common Core State Standards. Understand the anchor standards (36) for your level. Identify what students need to know and be able to do to achieve these standards in your class. Learn and use the WIPPEA lesson plan template.
