"Unwrapped" standards clarify what students must know and be able to do.

When educators analyze each standard and identify its essential concepts and skills, the result is more effective instructional planning, assessment, and learning.

In "Unwrapping" the Standards, the author guides educators through each phase of the "unwrapping" process. By sharing the many real-life success stories of K-12 educators across the country, Dr. Ainsworth explains how to identify the Big Ideas—what educators want their students to remember long after instruction ends.

This practical text includes more than 80 examples of "unwrapped" standards, plus checklists and templates to help educators immediately apply this simple, proven technique for making standards manageable.
