Standards
• Unpacking the Standard(s) – this
information should come from core
– Select a standard or set of standards
– Circle the verbs and action phrases (skills –
Do)
– Underline the nouns and noun phrases
(knowledge and understanding – K and U)
– Identify pre-requisite skills implied within the
standard
– Determine instructional implications
of the standard
Standards
• Example pre-requisite or implied skills
Reading | Planning and Problem Solving |
Critical Thinking Skills | Maintain Focus | Task
Persistence | Organization and Synthesis of
Information | Self-Regulation | Active Listening |
Language
• Instructional Implication
– Review/reteach the implied skills
– Provide scaffolding for implied skills
Cognition & Neurology
Neurological, or cognitive, processes
(such as memory) can impact
engagement, learning, and achievement.
Students differ widely in their cognitive
processing skills.
Can This Make a Difference?
Information Mapping

Scaffold Integration
All of these types of scaffolds are most effective
when used in conjunction with each other. For
example, a student may be taught a strategy or
system for highlighting and visually marking complex
text. The text that was highlighted and marked may
then be used to fill out a graphic organizer, concept
map, timeline, etc. Further processing could include
illustrating some of the information on the graphic
organizer. That graphic organizer could then become
a discussion support tool.
Reflection
• What affirms what you already
know?
• What makes you uncomfortable or
would require additional
discussion with colleagues?
• What could result in changing a
way of work or changing a
process?
