There is a lot of discussion around how to determine which GLOs to focus on. In other subject areas, there are 3 questions that are asked to determine Priority or Power Standards/Benchmarks which become a focus and those are: 1. Endurance - Does the GLO provide students with knowledge and skills beyond a single test date? 2. Leverage - Does the GLO provide knowledge and skills that will be valuable in multiple disciplines or content areas? 3. Readiness - Does the GLO provide knowledge and skills for success in the next grade or level of instruction? If you answer "yes" to all 3 of those questions, then a Standard/Benchmark/GLO is considered to be "Priority" or "Power". I have set up a spreadsheet to allow you to do that for HS Level 1 and 2 GLOs and it can be found here: https://bit.ly/3s6hAoG . (Click "Use Template" in the upper right to try it out!) To make it easy, you will notice that if you choose 3 "yes" responses for a GLO, the row will automatically be highlighted in green, as shown here:

Micah Shippee (@micahshippee) recently shared this cool template on Twitter and we thought it would be terrific for use in health classes. The template can be found here and you can click anywhere on the slide to move through the slides and see how it works. If you'd like to use the template, simply click "Use Template" and you'll have a copy in your Drive. Edit as desired and share with students via Google Classroom as "make a copy for each student". This can be used with a variety of topics and can, also, be used to reinforce appropriate digital interactions. Teaching digital literacy is SO important for ALL teachers. It's a true team effort to teach students to interact with respect, regardless of the platform.
