Welcome to Class!• During our tutorial we will cover the key areas
on navigation in CSCOPE.• By mastering the basics we will have the tools
necessary for successfully navigating and using the program.
• So let’s get started!
What is CSCOPE?1) Provides exemplar lessons to demonstrate the
depth, breadth, and rigor of the clusters of specified student expectations.
2) Teachers can add to these lessons with other materials to allow students to achieve the standards clustered together in the instructional focus document.
3) These exemplars contain the elements of learning to ensure that students get access to the rigor and content of the IFD; however, they can and should be supplemented with other available resources.
