Now Available! JSD Content Proficiency Scales
The Jordan Teaching & Learning Department, in collaboration with district teacher teams, have developed power standards and corresponding proficiency scales for Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, PE, Health, and Music (with more subjects coming soon). These scales serve as exemplars and anchors for grade-level expectations, ensuring Level 3 indicators align precisely with the depth and rigor of the Utah Core Standards.
To access the standards, scales, and integration resources for planning, instruction, assessment, and feedback, enroll in the new JSD Content Proficiency Scales Canvas course.
Key Details:
- Ongoing Updates: Additional resources will be added directly to the Canvas course.
- Feedback: A link is embedded in the course for submitting questions, commentary, or resource suggestions.
- More Info: Please review the Canvas homepage for additional details.
⚠️ Important Note on Math Standards: The State Board of Education (USBE) is currently reviewing math standards and is expected to release updates soon. Consequently, the development of math power standards and proficiency scales is paused until those official updates are released.
