This 1-hour session guides teachers, instructional coaches, and assessment coordinators in using the Smarter Balanced Content Explorer to deepen instructional alignment. Participants will explore claims, targets, task models, and sample items across grade levels and subjects. The tool provides practical insight for lesson and unit design, PLC collaboration, and understanding assessment blueprints and performance expectations. Together, these perspectives support clearer and more equitable connections between standards, instruction, and assessment.
