Deconstructing Frameworks for Success Criteria

Wednesday July 22, 2026 12:15pm - 1:15pm EDT

Standards are the destination, but success criteria are the highly visible landmarks along the way. However, we tend to miss the actual cognitive demand that can be defined by determining how student success looks. In this interactive workshop, we will move from deconstructing state standards and start deconstructing our frameworks. You will learn how to identify exactly what students must say, write, or do to prove mastery. As a result, you will leave equipped to lead your home PLC in shifting the focus from what students are doing to what students are proving.
