Welcome CCSD Teachers

The Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) help teachers ensure their students have the skills and knowledge they need to be on course toward college or career readiness. The CCSD Scope and Sequence identifies the Grade Level Expectations (GLE) and Evidence Outcomes (EO) by trimester providing goals for student learning at each grading period.

The Grade Level Expectations and Evidence Outcomes identified through the CCSD Scope and Sequence establish what students learn, but they do not identify how teachers should teach. The intent of the Scope and Sequence is to provide teacher teams a starting point for collaboration and unit planning.

Using the Science Scope and Sequence

The 2020 Colorado Academic Standards for Science are categorized by the following three standards:

12
Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) are linked within each standard. Each GLE is present in each trimester.

Evidence Outcomes (ie, a., b., c.) appear in next to the standard they are associated with. Some Evidence Outcomes repeat in multiple trimesters, some do not. Evidence Outcomes include the Next Generation Science Standards, a national framework in which the 2020 Colorado CAS Science Standards were adapted from. Most performance expectations include a clarification statement, as well as a boundary statement.

Within each trimester or quarter, standards are addressed within the science unit. Science standards encompass evidence outcomes, which contain the Next Generation Science Standards Performance Expectation.
