I have a decent sense of the ways in which the Common Activities and Knowledge Domains can potentially impact educationally, but in terms of the systemic development of the EFF framework, I'm not clear on their relationship to the standards, except in a general sense that they played a linkage function in the movement from the role maps to the standards. Also, on the standards, I see that in the EFF literature they are referred to as Content Standards. My understanding is that they are metacognitive, learning-to-learn process standards that cannot stand on their own, but need to be related to the Four Purposes and the Role Maps in order to make any sense of them whether for educational or accountability purposes. So I would rather refer to them as process standards. Is that something folks would like to discuss here? If anyone would prefer to contact me directly about these matters, my email addresses are: Sophocles5@juno.com Gdemetrion@msn.com Thanks very much. George Demetrion
