Appendices


CESA also has a set of worksheets that provides interpretation of how some of the specific performance standards within the core curricular standards support, and are supported by, the ITLS. We have condensed some of the language of the standards to save space. This worksheet also provides ample space for the user to include information on how the local curriculm supports these standards. This is a much more comprehensive document and we hope it supports discussion and integration efforts in districts across the state. Please note that there is much room for local interpretation and adaptation when considering these alignments and we offer this content only as examples of possible associations that can be made.

Content Standard A: Media and Technology
Content Standard C: Independent Learning
Content Standard B: Information and Inquiry
Content Standard D: The Learning Community
