Note : Nest session you will be assigned the following task - but if you want to start it while Henry is on your mind, you may: 4th grade CCSS __or__ the CAS math standard you are working toward on the goal page (You may use whichever you find easier, the Common Core or Colorado Academic Standard language for English Language Arts or Math. Your district will probably stipulate which you have to use, but both meet the federal law requiring linkage to state standards. For goals in other content areas, you will have to use the CAS, since these are not yet available in the Common Core State Standards).
 * Task Thirteen **: Pretend that the student in this video (Let's call him Henry) is a 4th grader struggling with this same task. Using the blank goal sheet below, write a measurable goal designed to move him from his present level to an appropriate **grade level standard**. Be sure to site the
