Selection of teachers was statewide
CackgrounCCcCuration Plans
July: Curation teams met one week for ELA and one week for Math to curate approximately 2,500 resources, begin blueprint work.
Before November: Teams will curate a minimum of 10 resources each and field test three resources, review blueprint work. (Peer review/vetting)
October-November: Teams meet for two days to review blueprint and provide additional comments, align and curate resources within myOER to CCSS. By November more than 1,000 additional resources will be curated. (Kim???)
June: Teams will provide final comments to blueprint, continue to align resources to CCSS, continue to curate resources, explore the Lesson Plan Builder within myOER.

Blueprint Rationale
Why do educators need a blueprint?
State’s response to questions from teachers
An effort to provide the “what and when”
Meant to be a helpful tool rather than a regulatory rule
Rigor: Deeper Not Harder
Cluster Standards for Success: Brian Pete
Blueprint Instructional Focus
Exemplars (Recommended Resources)
Blueprint Goals
Make the blueprint truly reflective of the work SD educators have already completed.
Connect the blueprint, disaggregated standards AND the myOER site.
Provide links to strong myOER lessons that address each unit and the related CCSS.
What’s a Blueprint?
A blueprint simply helps educators identify what CCSS to teach and when to teach them.
The term blueprint has several synonyms including the following: Road map Scope and sequence Curriculum map
Makes Sense!
“You guys are doing an amazing job with myOER and the blueprints. Very well received out here in the field. I am still very excited to be a part of this. FINALLY! something that makes sense with Common Core.”
