STANDARDS
The building blocks of instruction.


"It's one thing to read a standard and get a general sense of what it's about.  It's another thing to thoroughly understand what it explicitly and implicitly indicates.”

- Larry Ainsworth via Education Week (Follow him on Twitter)

What's the Big Idea?

Unwrapped content, skills, learning targets, big ideas, and essential questions are first-class citizens of Arch.  Not only can you link the standards, but you can also link and track the explicit and implicit language when doing your alignments.
