How do we determine Essential Standards?
“Ask yourself the following question:
What is the most important things students should know before advancing to the next grade?
K-22?
If every standard was adequately taught in our school system, instead of K-12 we would have K-22.

Don’t lose sight of the forest
“What you will find is that good set of Essential Standards will cover about 88% of the items on the state test, but not 100%. If you go after the extra 12%, yo will have to cover many more standards and hence have less teaching time to thoroughly teach each of the essential standards. Ainsworth 2004
