The Oklahoma Academic Standards (OAS) Trifolds have been developed to support educators in a variety of essential tasks related to their standards. Specifically, the trifolds provide an excellent reference for teachers (and students) relating to knowledge and skills required for their current subject and what the expectations were last year and are for the coming year. The OAS Trifolds are an ideal tool for PLC teams.

See the OAS Trifolds ArchDoc to access the ALCA Trifold Tools Guide and the numerous OAS Trifold pdfs for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The online version of the trifolds are available at no cost. The printed versions of the trifolds are 20 inches wide with the height varying depending on the standards sets within each trifold. For example, some ELA trifolds are 29 inches tall and Social Studies charts can be up to 33 inches tall.

The printed Trifolds can be purchased at the ALCA Store.

Discover how teachers can quickly plan lessons based on analysis of state assessment results and related standards maps. The newly updated Comprehend Data Video Guide walks you through the three steps right within a Comprehend Standards Report! 

One benefit of the Arch Standards tool teachers are most excited about is not only that the standards include unwrapped content, skills, learning targets, big ideas, and essential questions, but the learning targets, big ideas, and essential questions are SEARCHABLE!

For example, clicking on a specific learning target results in a second tab browser window showing a Google search. What can be done with the results you might ask? Well, you can:

1. Select Images to locate images you can use within your Arch Plans, Assessments, and other Arch resources. 
2. Select Videos  to locate videos you can embed within your Arch Plans, Assessments and other Arch resources.
3. Select Web Pages to add links to your Arch Plans, Assessments, and other Arch resources.
4. Select other varied resources such as News, and Apps to incorporate other strategies for addressing planning and instruction.
5. Assign within student coursework, instructions for students to use the searching options to research standards-specific concepts or topics. Once researched, students may report back to peers or the class their results.
6. Quickly identify a range of Depth of Knowledge (DoK)-specific resources to support instruction and learning through a sequence of instructional plans.

Searchable standards maps streamline a high-quality process of identifying and using diverse curricular resources within your lesson plans, instruction, and assessments. It saves teachers and students alike a tremendous amount of time!
