Decode:
To allow for ease in referencing expectations, each expectation has been coded with a discipline, standard, grade-level, and content statement/expectation number. For example, P.FM.02.34 indicates:
 * P - Physical Science Discipline
 * FM-Force and Motion Standard
 * 02-Second Grade
 * 34-Fourth Expectation in the Third Content Statement

Content statements are written and coded for Elementary and Middle School Grade Spans. High School Content Expectations have similar coding features. //It's important to note that not all content expectations for the content statement will be found in each grade//.


 * 1) Locate a grade or subject appropriate GLCE or HSCE
 * 2) Select 5 discipline standards you could use for your 5 lessons
 * 3) Find a way to copy & paste your top 5 onto your wiki page (hint: click on your name in the menu column to the right of this page)
 * 4) Be sure to SAVE your page!
 * 5) With a partner, select one of your discipline standards to decode - be sure you both agree on how to interpret each element of the code.
 * 6) Use Jing to record an explanation of your selected standard, including each coding feature and what attracted you to that standard.

Explore:
A critical part of the learning process, unpacking discipline standards provides users the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding on the content. Without this, it is difficult to ensure instruction is appropriate and appropriately designed for the target level. consider the language and purpose embedded within each expectation.
 * 1) Select one of the 5 standards you have chosen from the previous activity (you can find them on your wiki page)
 * 2) Work to unpack your selected standard, posting your interpretation of the following:
 * What specific content standards are involved?
 * What related goals (NETS, 21Ct skills, district or school mission, etc.)?
 * What are the Big Ideas, principles and processes that are addressed by this standard?
 * 1) If you finish before our time is up, please follow this same process for each of the remaining standards listed on your wiki page
