While attending sessions and engaging in collaborative discussions with other attendees, I found that I have a solid understanding of the standards and can easily identify which standards I'm addressing (or are being addressed) in a given lesson/unit of study. Maureen Schlosser and Rebecca Granatini's book AASL Standards:Lessons Inspired by Picture Books for Primary Grades is a great resource and has helped me see how to interpret the standards in an age appropriate way for my elementary students.
