What is alignment?

What does a standards based classroom, school, or district look like?

Each group will be given between 5-6 documents and completed templates as “artifacts” of alignment along with highlighters. In pairs, they will highlight “evidence” of alignment.

5 slide mini-lecture. This will help pull together and clarify the definition of alignment.

“Whip Around”

List 3 things you highlighted as evidence.

Constructing our own knowledge- Chalk-talk protocol with this question:

“What evidence will you see in our classrooms that indicates a focus on standards?

What are our next steps towards embracing alignment?

Postcard Activity- participants will choose a postcard that best represents their next steps- so far. Table sharing.
