BLOOM’S TAXONOMY 
AND UNWRAPPING A 
STANDARD 
Using the Iowa Core 
Curriculum standards to 
develop daily learning targets
THE STANDARDS DEFINE WHAT ALL 
STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO KNOW AND 
BE ABLE TO DO, NOT HOW TEACHERS 
SHOULD TEACH.
WHY IS UNWRAPPING THE STANDARDS 
IMPORTANT? 
Unwrapping the standards helps us, 
as teachers, to put into words 
EXACTLY what we want our students 
to know and EXACTLY what we want 
our students to be able to do.
The Standards use individual grade 
levels in kindergarten through grade 8 
to provide useful specificity; the 
Standards use two-year bands in 
grades 9–12 to allow schools, districts, 
and states flexibility in high school 
course design. 
THE IOWA CORE STANDARDS HELP 
ALIGN INSTRUCTION OVER TIME
What is a standard? A learning target? 
Standard Definition: 
What we want students to be able to know and do at the end of any 
given time. 
Standards are provided by the state and derived from the National 
Standards. 
Learning Target Definition: 
These are statements of intended learning based on the standards. 
Learning targets are in student friendly language and are 
specific to the lesson for the day and directly connected to 
assessment. 
.
Example of a Standard vs. Learning 
Targets 
Science Standard: 
Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis) and 
differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms. 
Science Learning Targets: (Scaffold for differentiation) 
I can draw a labeled diagram illustrating the steps of mitosis. 
I can create a three dimensional model illustrating the steps of 
mitosis. 
I can create a computer animation illustrating the steps of mitosis.

Language Arts
Language Progressive Skills, by Grade 
The following skills, marked with an asterisk (*) in Language standards 1–3, are particularly likely to require continued attention in higher grades as they are applied to increasingly sophisticated writing and speaking. 
Standard 
Grade(s) 
3 4 5 6 7 8 9–10 11–12 
L.3.1f. Ensure subject-verb and pronoun-antecedent agreement. 
L.3.3a. Choose words and phrases for effect. 
L.4.1f. Produce complete sentences, recognizing and correcting inappropriate fragments and run-ons. 
L.4.1g. Correctly use frequently confused words (e.g., to/too/two; there/their). 
L.4.3a. Choose words and phrases to convey ideas precisely.* 
L.4.3b. Choose punctuation for effect. 
L.5.1d. Recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense. 
L.5.2a. Use punctuation to separate items in a series.† 
L.6.1c. Recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in pronoun number and person. 
L.6.1d. Recognize and correct vague pronouns (i.e., ones with unclear or ambiguous antecedents). 
L.6.1e. Recognize variations from standard English in their own and others’ writing and speaking, and identify and use strategies to improve 
expression in conventional language. 
L.6.2a. Use punctuation (commas, parentheses, dashes) to set off nonrestrictive/parenthetical elements. 
L.6.3a. Vary sentence patterns for meaning, reader/listener interest, and style.‡ 
L.6.3b. Maintain consistency in style and tone. 
L.7.1c. Place phrases and clauses within a sentence, recognizing and correcting misplaced and dangling modifiers. 
L.7.3a. Choose language that expresses ideas precisely and concisely, recognizing and eliminating wordiness and redundancy. 
L.8.1d. Recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb voice and mood. 
L.9–10.1a. Use parallel structure.
