Essential standards (highlighted in green) are big, powerful ideas that are necessary and essential for students to know to be successful in a course. Essential standards identify the appropriate verb and cognitive process intended for the student to accomplish. Essential standards provide value throughout a student's career, in other courses, and translate to the next level of education or world of work.

Objectives/Indicators (rows not highlighted in green) provide another level of detail for each Essential Standard.

Adapted or Adopted Course includes essential standards and, in many cases, specific objectives/indicators aligned with business and industry standards and/or criteria for credentials or certifications. The course standards are designed using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). If the POL is a CTE State Assessment, the course is written at the level of the ESSENTIAL STANDARD and assesses the intended outcome of the sum of its objectives/indicators.

Column information

Standard/Objective Number: The essential standard is denoted by the digits before the dot; objectives/indicators are indicated by the final 2 digits.
Standard/Objective: Essential standard and specific objective/indicator statements per essential standard. Each essential standard statement or specific objective/indicator begins with an action verb and makes a complete sentence when combined with The learner will be able to... Outcome behavior in each essential standard or objective/indicator statement is denoted by the verb plus its object.
Course Weight: Shows the relative importance of each essential standard or objective/indicator. Course weight is used to help determine the percentage of total class time that is spent on each objective/indicator.
RBT Designation: Classification of outcome behavior in essential standards and indicator statements in Dimensions according to the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy:
Cognitive Process Dimension: 1 Remember, 2 Understand, 3 Apply, 4 Analyze, 5 Evaluate, 6 Create.
Knowledge Dimension: A Factual Knowledge, B Conceptual Knowledge, C Procedural Knowledge.
