To support schools in meaningfully implementing the  Instructional Expectations for the 2011-2012 school year, NYC educators and national experts worked throughout the 2010-2011 school year to develop Common Core-Aligned Tasks embedded in a unit of study. Each Common Core-Aligned Task is accompanied by a variety of instructional supports, including:

• Culminating performance tasks
• Guidance around use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles for each task
• Rubrics and/or scoring guides
• Annotated student work ranging across levels
• Unit outlines developed using the Understanding by Design (UBD) framework, aligned to CCLS Standards
• Supports for helping students access complex texts
• Additional assessments and learning activities (e.g. initial, formative assessments)
• Task-specific supports for ELLs and Students with Disabilities

Schools may choose to use all or portions of the materials provided to fulfill the 2011-12 Instructional Expectations or to provide guidance when looking at student work or creating their own tasks and units.
