Deconstruct the standards to gain a deeper knowledge of the
embedded skills and rigor layers within and across grade level bands.
Use a deconstructed standard and knowledge of rigor to brainstorm
a set of questioning strategies and/or activity ideas for use in the
classroom.
Essential Questions

Why is it essential to deconstruct the standards in order to build high
quality instruction and achieve student understanding?
How do standards 1-9 contribute to standard 10 in RL and RI?

Take a Gallery Walk:
Questions to Ponder
1. Are the clusters independent or intertwined as you
move down the standards?
2. Does the rigor increase?
3. What are the implications for instruction?
•As you review the charts write your
comments/connections on a post-it,
noting smooth transitions and/or
giant leaps.
•Place your note on the chart.

1. Select a cluster from RI or RL that you would like
to use for this activity. Locate the Constructing
Instruction handout behind the activities tab.
2. Brainstorm texts, strategies and learning
activities teachers can use to frame instruction.

3. Using the Cognitive Rigor Matrix, compare your
list of activities to the 4 levels of DOK as a check
for rigor.
4. Are your activities concentrating in less or more
rigorous areas?
5. How will you use the Cognitive Rigor Matrix to
increase the rigor in your instruction?

When you return to your LEAs and
schools consider the next steps in construction:
1. What have you learned that will help you
show teachers how to gain deeper
understanding of the standards?
2. What other tools and resources will you
need to get the job done?
