9. College & Career Ready Standards What is a standard? Standards to Curriculum Standards to Instruction Standards to Assessment (CBM)

10. CURRICULUM The standards are not curriculum – SILENT ON : What to teach How to teach When to teach certain topics The additional 15% - locally determined and vast The History or Social Studies decisions (DoDEA S.S.) The specificity of certain details Symbols of citizenship (flags, birds, flowers, trees, nation/state) Handwriting – and if you don’t think the handwriting debate is an interesting conversation, then try reading one of these hundreds of fonts on our computers without ever having had instruction on how to read, write and learn in this manner when your high school teacher writes this way, but this is all you learned to read.
