- Abstract:
The task and instructional supports in the following pages are designed to help educators understand and implement tasks that are embedded in Common Core-aligned curricula. While the focus for the 2011-2012 Instructional Expectations is on engaging students in Common Core-aligned culminating tasks, it is imperative that the tasks are embedded in units of study that are also aligned to the new standards. Rather than asking teachers to introduce a task into the semester without context, this work is intended to encourage analysis of student and teacher work to understand what alignment looks like. We have learned through this year’s Common Core pilots that beginning with rigorous assessments drives significant shifts in curriculum and pedagogy. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) support is included to ensure multiple entry points for all learners, including students with disabilities and English language learners.

Comments
This is an amazing teacher resource with a set of 7-8 assessment tasks along with very specific scoring rubrics and detailed unit instructions. Standard alignment ratings are based on the content being the focus of an individual task. There were some issues with the pdf format in that a few spaces for student work did not attach.
