Performance Packages

The State of Minnesota has identified "High Standards" that define what students should know, understand and be able to do to demonstrate a high level of achievement. The High Standards are organized into ten learning areas. Students complete a standard when they complete all of the work required in their local performance package for that standard. A performance package is made up of assignments that, taken together, show whether a student has learned and can apply the knowledge and skills outlined in the standard. These assignments ask students to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.

Because the Monarchs in the Classroom lessons were designed with State and National Education Standards in Mind, they are a natural fit for Performance Packages. The following "Model Monarchs in the Classroom Performance Packages" have all been approved by the State of Minnesota. We encourage teachers to use these as they develop packages for their own districts.

Authors of the packages, listed below, include classroom teachers with special expertise in monarchs, curriculum writing, and performance package creation.
