In order to help all of us better understand the new Colorado state standards, the folks at CDE created matrices that crosswalk the the alignment between the old benchmarks and the new student outcomes.
If you are a teacher leader providing site-based support, or a very interested teacher – take some time to check out these tools at http://www.cde.state.co.us/cdeassess/UAS/Crosswalk/CAS_Crosswalk.html
Here you can download each of the crosswalks by content area. You can be certain that our P-12 Councils, Instructional Coaches, principals, TOSAs and other curriculum leaders will be using these vital resources to support our district transition towards the new standards. You can access the actual standards documents here.
