Common Core State Standards. For most of us, we design learning targets to address the
standards, but that can be the problem with curriculum and competency-based systems: the
standards aren’t necessarily the targets. They are the goals we seek to attain.

solve problems. It is the acquisition of information, skills, problpem-solving abilities, and
dispositions that enable children to think about and comprehend their surroundings. The theory

answers. He describes four distinct stages in cognitive development in children: sensorimotor,
preoperational, concrete, and formal.
