What is Instructional Alignment?
Start by asking yourself the following …

(the objective)
2. How will I know if my students have achieved the objective?
(student performance)
3. What will I accept as evidence that they have met the objective?
(the assessments)
Finally, ask yourself ....
4. What activities and materials will equip the students with the needed knowledge and skills to meet the objective?
