I Can Statements - CCSS style

We know our Learning Targets should be specific, personal to the student, in kid-friendly language and have a verb that communicates the desired student performance.  As we have learned more in recent months, many teachers are fine tuning Learning Targets to be sure they are reflecting the type of thinking (DOK) we are wanting students to do during our lesson.  It's more about what follows the verb than the verb itself.  

Recently, an amazing resource was brought to our attention that showcases "I can" Learning Targets aligned to the CCSS.  It just so happens that the ELA message Shelly H sent yesterday references the same website!  The Curriculum Corner is a wealth of resources, be sure you carve a chunk of time out to explore.  

Specifically, be sure to send some time here perusing the "I can..." CCSS edition.  It is organized by grade level, K-8 and content area (there are even options for cute backgrounds!).  Best of all, it's FREE.
