subscription to the all schools associated with the Center for Urban Education
Schools, known as CUE Schools, in Denver, Colorado

11Core Competency State Standards
Standards stress not only procedural skill
but also conceptual understanding
Students are learning and absorbing the
critical information they need to succeed at
higher levels
12Performance-Based Standards for Colorado
Teachers
1. Knowledge of Literacy
2. Knowledge of Mathematics
3. Knowledge of Standards and Assessment
4. Knowledge of Content
5. Knowledge of Classroom and Instructional Management
6. Knowledge of Individualized Instruction
7. Knowledge of Technology
8. Democracy, Educational Governance and Careers in
Teaching
13Use Of Standards In The Classroom
•Integrating standards into daily objectives allows students to internalize
the language needed to succeed at the next level
•Student and teacher are expected to use the academic language every
day and tie lessons to these common core standards –Standards are
easily accessible with NBC Learns
•NBC Learns gives students the ability to choose the content and
recognize the specific standards associated
Today’s students are producers of information more
than consumers; My goal is to help them turn knowledge
into understanding using their currency - technology
14Use Of Standards In The Classroom
•Within DPS we are observed, “LEAPed” and expected to refer to
standards as part of our daily objective (SWBAT)
•Students should expect teachers to be as technologically literate
as they are
•My perfect classroom has clusters of students huddled around
laptops finding and sharing answers with each other
•NBC Learns allows students to discover history through journalism
Students learn best when they are teaching. On a good
day I can trick them into learning something.
