The Purpose Behind VASS
In this video, I share the story behind the VASS framework—why the system exists, the rationale guiding its intentional design, and the urgency of unpacking standards and aligning curriculum with purpose. Inspired by TEA’s Vertical Alignment Matrix but not just showing entry points of skills or the increase in rigor, VASS shows the breadth and depth—the instructional weight—of all standards in every strand.
