 * Supported by the UBD work: the created enduring understandings
 * Essential skill, concept, understanding
 * Foundational
 * Leveraging/Cross-cutting (helps in other subject areas)
 * Enduring (lifetime skills, used by students more than one year)
 * Readiness (necessary for students' success in the next grade)
 * Remediation worthy


 * Prioritized standard
 * Essential knowledge and skills (which transcend various content areas) that students need in order to be successful in the following grade and in LIFE
 * If a student does not "get it," tiered supports are implemented
 * Ensuring student learning
 * The standards that are absolutely essential for student success
 * A standard will be phrased with a noun; how you meet a competency will be phrased with a verb].
