Instructional Content
Part A: Topics taught and Time devoted to instructional topics “What students should know”
Part B: Expectations of students/cognitive demand “What students should be able to do
with what they know”
Cognitive Demand
State standards and assessments have an inherent cognitive demand.
Instructional activities also have cognitive demand.
The SEC intend to measure the cognitive demand relative to content instruction.
Cognitive Demand Categories
Mathematics Memorize Perform procedures Demonstrate
understanding of mathematics concepts
Conjecture, generalize, and prove
Solve non-routine problems and make connections
English Language Arts and Reading Recall Demonstrate

“Our ability to predict student learning gains as a function of classroom content coverage more than doubles when we define content as curriculum at the intersection of topics and cognitive demand categories.”

For research purposes it is sometimes desirable to merge SEC data with other data
it is true that administrators are not able to link names with data, researchers may receive teacher names (if the teacher checks the box associated with the teacher release statement)
