Alignment Toolkit Phase 2: Revision of District Curriculum - These tools create a framework from the standards and model curriculum for planning units around big ideas/concepts, sequencing units to the school year, intradisciplinary and interdisciplinary connections, diverse learner considerations, technology integration, assessment practices (formative, summative and performance-based) and resources.
Alignment Toolkit Phase 3: Implementation - These tools deliver support to educators as they implement Ohio’s Learning Standards. They are sorted into three categories: curriculum, instruction and assessment.
