SAS Overview
The Pennsylvania Standards Aligned
Systems (SAS) is a collaborative product
of research and good practice that
identifies six distinct elements which, if
utilized together, will provide schools and
districts a common framework for continuous
school and district enhancement and
improvement.
Instruction
Aligned with standards in order
to identify strategies that
are best suited to help
students achieve the
expected performance.
Materials & Resources
A repository of material from textbooks,
reading materials, software,
sample model curricula,
and any other instructional
resources that are needed
to fit the framework
and match the standards.
Interventions
A safety net/intervention
system to ensure that
all students meet standards
Clear Standards
Standards
summarize what we
value in our
educational program.
Standards establish
what all students
should know and be
able to accomplish.
Fair Assessments
Aligned to PA

Curriculum Framework
A framework specifying Big Ideas,
Concepts, and Competencies
in each subject area/at
each grade or
course level.
SAS Connections to
Curriculum Writing
• SAS is designed to give focus to school
districts as they design curriculum and
instruction.
• Curriculum mapping tools provide
schools the opportunity to write and
manipulate local curriculum.
SAS Development
• Educators from across the Commonwealth
have created Big Ideas, Concepts, and
Competencies in literacy, math, science, social
studies and Physical Education.
• Essential Questions, Exemplars, and
Vocabulary have also been created in these
subject areas.

Abstract: Much research has been conducted as to what makes a great school.
Great schools and school systems tend to have six common elements: clear
standards, fair assessment, curriculum framework (big ideas, concepts,
competencies, essential questions, vocabulary and exemplars), instruction,
materials and resources and interventions. Participants who attend this workshop
will learn and interact with the new on-line “Standards Aligned System”
document that is aligned with the Pennsylvania Health, Safety, and Physical
Education standards.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptop computers to
presentation.
