There's a formula with which you can change Common Core standards to teacher-centered learning targets:
Students will (concept and skill) by (cognitive application from Hess DOK) as demonstrated by (type of cooperative group activity).
The following are the teacher learning targets for a month-long unit (seven units per year) for ELA fourth grade Common Core standards:
