 Four Parallels  Core Knowledge  Essential nature of a discipline  Connection  Relationships among knowledge  Practice  Applications of knowledge and skills as a practitioner  Identity  Developing students’ interest, expertise, strengths, values, and character THE PCM FRAMEWORK

 Foundational Foundational  Core concepts  Core principles  Core Skills  Emphasizes  Big Ideas/Essential Understandings/ Essential Questions  Understanding over memorization  Knowledge in context  Critical Thinking  Creativity  Take advantage of ascending levels of Intellectual Demand CORE KNOWLEDGE PARALLEL

 Inter or Intra –disciplinary between  Times  Cultures  Places  Events  Perspectives  Topics  Macroconcepts /Generalizations /Themes PARALLEL OF CONNECTIONS

 Authenticity  Emphasis on  Understanding  Doing  Making sense  Increasing expertise  Potential for embedding  Problems  Learning activities  Assessments  Students as  Problem Finder  Researcher  Creator  Producer PARALLEL OF PRACTICE

 “Through the lens of….”  Reflection about skills and interests within a discipline  Personal growth / development  Exploration  Participation  How their interests coincide with the discipline  The impact of the discipline  Inward  Outward  Self-definition/ Self-understanding  Goal setting PARALLEL OF IDENTITY
