A new 5th grade ELA teacher must build an entire curriculum from scratch using only state standards, with no provided lesson plans, materials, or guidance.

State standards are not a curriculum—they lack lesson plans, texts, sequencing, assessments, and differentiation. The teacher must manually translate standards into daily instruction without support.
