EUs guide the content of the Performance Indicators. design) Some Anchor Standards in some of the arts disciplines have more than one EU. Example Performance Indicator To create code alignment between all standards and disciplines, AS numbers are always followed by “.1”, “.2”, like this: 1.1, Performance Indicators are coded with a lower case alpha 1.2. “.1” follows the AS number even when there is only one Enduring Understanding. (a, b, c) even when there is only one in a column.

Each grade level is indicated by a letter, number, or HS+Roman numeral Bold words indicate discipline specific vocabulary.

Each Performance Indicator (PI) is assigned a lower case letter even when there is only one. The first performance indicator is “a”, the next “b”, and so on.

Ordering First position indicates the discipline. It is always followed by a colon ( : ). Example Second position (following the colon) indicates the Artistic Process.
