The Purpose Behind VASS

In this video, I share the story behind the VASS framework—explaining its existence, the rationale behind its intentional design, and the urgency of unpacking standards and achieving curriculum alignment with purpose. Inspired by TEA’s Vertical Alignment Matrix, the VASS framework goes beyond merely showcasing entry points of skills or the increase in rigor; it reveals the breadth and depth—the instructional weight—of all standards in every strand, ultimately focusing on Empowering Educators.
