`The success or failure of reform in education depends on how well each teacher learns how to implement standards in classroom instruction.
This guide should be helpful in that process' - National Science Teachers Association, Washington In this book, Richard H Audet and Linda K Jordan give teachers the tools they need to understand standards and benchmarks, use a standards-based instructional planning model, analyze curriculum using a standards lens, and align curriculum to students' learning goals.
After completing the guide, teachers will be able to design performance-based assessment strategies, implement a standards-based instructional model, evaluate and align curriculum materials to standards.
Designed to be sensitive to teachers' needs, the manuscript is clearly written, easy to use, practical, embedded in a classroom context, and tied to student achievement.
The authors use a constructivist approach and a five-stage learning cycle that models good teaching.
