The Prioritized Delaware Science Standards

Understanding Delaware's prioritized science standards can be daunting, but they play a crucial role in shaping curriculum and assessments. This guide highlights the Four Key Players: Curriculum, Prioritized Standards, DCAS, and Summative Assessments, explaining how they interconnect. By familiarizing yourself with these standards, you can make informed decisions about lesson emphasis and pacing. Essential standards should occupy about 70% of your teaching time, while Important and Compact standards should take up 20% and 5-10%, respectively. Equip yourself with strategies to enhance student performance and make effective instructional choices.

  1. The Prioritized Delaware Science Standards You’ve heard about them You’ve worried about them You have no idea what to DO about them

  2. The Four Players: Curriculum Prioritized Standards DCAS Summative Assessments How do they play together???

  3. The Four Players: Curriculum Prioritized Standards The prioritized standards should inform curriculum decisions, specifically pacing and emphasis of content DCAS Summative Assessments

  4. The Four Players: Curriculum Prioritized Standards DCAS Assessments should be standards based. Outcomes of assessment can help guide further curricular choices. Summative Assessments

  9. Also Remember • We all must make choices regarding our classroom instruction…let’s make those choices as informed and useful as possible…..

  10. Why should I do this??? • The Delaware Recommended Science Curriculum is highly organized and prioritized already, but often teachers deliver each lesson with equity when in fact some lessons are less “important” than others and can therefore receive less attention. Determination of time limits should be based on informed instructional NEED.
