Blueprint for Learning

The Blueprint for Learning is a companion document for the Tennessee Curriculum
Standards which are located at. Although the curriculum
adopted by the State Board of Education in its entirety remains on the web for additional
reference, this reformatted version makes the curriculum more accessible to classroom
teachers.

Skills are coded and identified as Introduced (I), Developing (D), State CRT and Writing Assessed
(A), and Mastered and Maintained (M).

•Introduced (I) skills are new skills presented at that grade level. Even though a skill is considered
introduced at a grade level, some development would also occur.
•Developing (D) skills are skills that have been introduced at a previous grade level. At this stage of
development the skills are being refined and expanded.
•Assessed (A) skills are those skills that are correlated to the state performance indicators for the
CRT portion of the achievement test (grades 3-8) and the writing assessment (grades 5 and 8). The
identified skills are formally assessed through the CRT; however, all skills are informally assessed
in the classroom.

Key to Understanding Blueprint Codes

I= Introduced
D=Developing
A=State Assessed
M=Mastered

(M) Skills are mastered or maintained. This indicates a skill that has been introduced,
developed, and assessed. Even though a skill may be formally assessed, the
development and expansion of the skill still continues.

Note: “A” Indicates the state curriculum assessment only (CRT).
All skills marked “I” “D” “M” are assessed in the classroom.
