5. Definition of Competency Competencies at BDEA Clearly written and broadly defined learning outcomes Enduring understandings and skills students need in a specific discipline Relevant and necessary for future learning Competencies at DP Critical thinking skills essential in a discipline Broadly defined habits and approaches to a subject

6. Example of Competency Competencies at BDEA EXAMPLE: Understand that the cell is the smallest unit that can perform life’s functions. MA Science Frameworks Central Concept Cells have specific structures and functions that make them distinctive. Processes in a cell can be classified broadly as growth, maintenance, and reproduction.

7. Example of Competency Competencies at BDEA EXAMPLE: Demonstrate an understanding of linear equations. MA Anchor Standard Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

8. Definition of Benchmark Benchmarks at BDEA Measurable learning objectives by which a student demonstrates competency

9. Example of Benchmark Benchmarks at BDEA Understand that the cell is the smallest unit that can perform life’s functions 1.Relate cell organelles to their functions 2.Explain how parts of the cell work together to perform life’s functions 3.Explain the differences between plant cells and animal cells 4.Explain the differences between eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells 5.Compare and contrast a virus and a cell 6.Describe the cell cycle and the process of mitosis. Explain the role of mitosis in the production of new cells 7.Explain the role of meiosis in the production of sex cells. MA Frameworks “Content Standards” 2.1 Relate cell parts/organelles (plasma membrane, nuclear envelope, nucleus, nucleolus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosome, ribosome, vacuole, cell wall, chloroplast, cytoskeleton, centriole, cilium, flagellum, pseudopod) to their functions. Explain the role of cell membranes as a highly selective barrier (diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, active transport). 2.2 Compare and contrast, at the cellular level, the general structures and degrees of complexity of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

10. Example of Benchmark Benchmarks at BDEA 1.Calculate slope 2.Identify linear relationships 3.Graph linear equations using appropriate scale, dependent and independent variables, and selected points 4.Represent linear relationships using tables, graphs, and equations 5.Recognize and use the slope intercept form of an equation 6.Convert between slope intercept and standard form of an equation Champion’s Prioritized Standards A-CED Create equations that describe numbers or relationships. 1. Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. 8.EE Understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. 5. Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance- time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed. A-CED Create equations that describe numbers or relationships. 2. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
