A. Identify 3–6 complete standards from a specific academic content area strand (e.g., ELA Speaking and Listening, Math Numbers and Operations) and include the following contextual information:
• origin of standards (e.g., Common Core, specific state standards)
• the subject area for which the standards were written
• the grade level for which the standards were written
B. Rewrite the standards from part A as focus statements.
Note: Each standard should have a minimum of one focus statement, but more complex standards may need more than one.
1. Identify whether each focus statement from part B represents either declarative or procedural knowledge.
C. Write measurement topics based on the focus statements from part B.
Note: The quantity of measurement topics will vary depending on how many standards were selected in part A. Generally, there should be fewer measurement topics than focus statements, and the quantity of measurement topics is often similar to the number of standards.
D. Acknowledge sources, using APA-formatted in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
E. Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.
