Six Benefits of Searchable OAS & Common Core Standards Maps

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!
