30. Purpose of Unpacking Documents The unpacking documents will demonstrate what students should: understand…(Conceptual) know…(Factual) be able to do…(Procedural) 5/5/2011 • page 23
35. Personal financedescribes the principles and methods that individuals use to acquire and manage income and assets. Financial literacyis the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage one's financial resources effectively for lifetime financial security. The Personal Financial Literacy Standards were developed around the national Jump$tartstandards.

Why Essential Standards?The Essential Standards identify the most critical knowledge and skills that students need to learn-filtering the “must have” elements of the curriculum from the “nice to have” elements. ES indicate what students should know, understand and be able to do. In Social Studies, the use of big ideas/guiding concepts and a common taxonomy (RBT) has resulted in standards that are fewer in number, clearer in the expected student outcomes and higher in cognitive processes.
Shift to essential standards is a shift from teacher centered instructional tasks to a focus on the cognitive process of students--how students best think and learn. Because of this shift you should be able to see a structural difference On the next slide you will see an example of the current standards and then the change to the conceptual format.
Highlight subject verb and object or underline.How are the two statements structurally different? (One verb/higher order, broader/conceptual focus)Essential Standards—more flexible, gives teachers and districts more ownership in deciding what to teach within this framework; appeals to diversity of student interests.SS Instructional Toolkit—Will further clarify what students should know, understand and be able to do.
The five (5) strands are History, Economics, Culture, Geography and Civics and Government. If you go back and crosswalk these five with the 10 Thematic Strands you will see that we have not eliminated anything, just combined. You will see that K-12- all standards will be written to these 5 strands. Our old standards have the thematic strands interwoven into the standards. The new Essential Standards are written to the particular Strand itself. Our research of state standards across the nation indicates that many Departments of Education have begun writing standards to these five (5) primary strands.
Conceptual knowledge transfers to the next level of learning.Timeless-transfers across eras, periods, decades, centuries and does not changeUniversal-transfers across any content area, any level of learning, any race, religion, gender, ethnic group, any place on earth. If it is a concept in the US then it is also a concept in Africa, the South Pacific, Outter space, etc. Abstract and Broad- It is never concrete or tangibleExamples Share Common Attributes- all the examples share identifying traits1-2 words- should never be long phrases or statementsAdditionally, the new structure of the 2010 K‐12 Social Studies Essential Standards reflects a shift to a more conceptual framework. The goal of conceptually written standards is to help students recognize patterns and make connections in their learning that transfer beyond a single discipline, topic, grade, or isolated fact. This adoption of a conceptual framework reduces the number of objectives while continuing to address similar topics, facts and skills. All concepts share the common characteristics listed here: Timeless, Universal, Abstract…By moving from a traditional topic-based/fact-based model to a more conceptually focused standards framework it does not mean that we won’t be teaching certain content, but rather we are doing it in a more focused way. Given the time constraints of the school year, we are not able to teach it all and students are not able to learn it all in one year or semester. However, by moving to a more conceptual framework, we are able to focus on the big ideas and lessons of social studies that we want students to transfer from one grade level to the next, K-12 and beyond. Why is the concept of “Revolution” timeless?What are the attributes of a revolution?You want to draw their attention to that fact that here we have characteristics that make a revolution a revolution. Each is timeless and universal. Revolutions:Goal is to affect changeRelatively shortReflect some type of discontentEmotional elementSome amount of change usually occurs.Additionally, conceptual standards will give teachers and districts more flexibility in the content examples that they may elect to use in order to support the big ideas rather than feeling as though they have to share every possible example with students.
Social Studies Concepts that are strand specific (Combines two organizational components—strands and concepts)Macro Concepts that can occur in all strands—Change & Continuity, Power, LibertyMicro Concepts that are strand specific—scarcity, supply & demand in EconomicsK-12 application of social studies concepts: Next slide
Let’s take a look at following the conceptual progression of a strand from elementary school to high school. Here we have chosen to show you an example from the Civics and Government strand. As you look at the slide you will notice two things. A numbering system which encompasses the social studies strands, that will be shared with you later. And…Very broad conceptually written statements. Remember, CONCEPTUAL standards are not filled with facts, events, people and places. They are broad general statements.
The crosswalk documents show a side-by-side comparison of the 2006 and the 2010 standards. This document is useful to identify content that has shifted grade levels or have been omitted. You may also use this document to determine implications for future professional development needs that your teachers may have as a result of changes in the standards.**Make sure to add that there will be a section in some grade levels for eliminated or moved content.We know that some of you have asked to work on the documents and we will be looking

See example!Why are the crosswalks important?
Unpacking documentHelps to clearly demonstrate what students should know, understand and be able to do to in order to truly master each clarifying objective and its corresponding essential standard.In the unpacking document, understandings are broad generalizations written at a conceptual level that measure …
Civics and Economics Essential Standards/Clarifying Objectives were partially developed around the National Standards in K-12 Personal Finance Education sponsored by the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial LiteracyUse this slide to talk with the participants about the Jumpstart Standards. Have them take our and refer to the handout given to them in their packets.Jump$tart Coalition for Personal FinancialLiteracy consists of 180 organizations and 47affiliated state coalitions dedicated to improvingthe financial literacy of youth from kindergartenthrough college age by providing advocacy,research, standards, and educational resources.Jump$tart strives to prepare youth for lifelongsuccessful financial decision making.In 1998, the Jump$tart Coalition for PersonalFinancial Literacy issued its first Personal FinanceGuidelines and Benchmarks. A group of 20professionals representing a broad range ofeducation, government, and financial service organizationsdeveloped these original guidelines.In 2001, and again in 2006, the Jump$tartCoalition board authorized the formation ofa task force to revise and update the NationalStandards in K–12 Personal Finance Education.
