47. Standards and Model Curricula Resources • From the ODE homepage at education.ohio.gov: • Click “Academic Content Standards” • Then choose Revised Academic Content Standards and Model Curriculum Development

48. Eye of Integration • What is it? A tool that facilitates integration of concepts and skills across content areas and applications. • Purpose: To encourage depth, rigor, and relevancy in Ohio classrooms. • Components: • Topic, essential question or big idea • Universal Skills or 21st Century Skills • Content area specific integration

50. Science Resource Materials Filter When considering resources and materials for science, it is important to determine alignment (is it grade-level appropriate, is it found in Ohio’s Academic Content Standards for Science and/or National Framework for K-12 Science Education?), accuracy/reliability, depth of knowledge, and are science practices encouraged? This filter provides a good starting point in the evaluation of resources and materials for use in the science classroom. Recommended resources and materials are in the 2/3 range for each of the listed criteria (A-I).
