Using SAS to Define a Curriculum
The Curriculum Framework tab on the SAS Portal allows you to search Pennsylvania's recommended Curriculum Framework by subject area, grade level and course. In this example, the teacher has entered "Reading Comprehension" for grade 3.
The SAS Portal returns the big ideas, essential questions, concepts, and competencies for the subject area. It also identifies the aligned standards and eligible content so that they can be cross referenced.
The above example only has one big idea, but some subject areas have several. There are many more competencies for this subject which are not shown here. Please go to the SAS Portal Curriculum Framework and look at the curriculum framework for your subject area and grade.
