Jackson Association - study tool

Jackson Association

This is a great tool to use to connect your terms to the curriculum framework. Follow the directions carefully! If you are stuck on how a term is an example of change over time or a broader trend, refer back to the curriculum framework. Most of the time, the roman numeral (ex: 4.1.II) will give you some idea of what possible trend/change over time has taken place.
