Educational Standards and Bloom's Taxonomy

The video tutorial, presented by Giselle Ponce, covers Module 3 of a mathematics curriculum, focusing on performance standards, competencies, and learning targets. It explains the importance of standards in education, including content and performance standards, and how they guide teaching and learning. The video also discusses competencies, learning objectives, and the use of SMART goals. It emphasizes the articulation of performance standards into competencies and learning targets, using Bloom's Taxonomy as a framework for creating effective learning targets.
