Second Edition

Foreword by Fenwick W. English

Aligning Standards and Curriculum for Classroom Success provides teachers with the tools and information they need to plan for instruction that meets state and national standards. The authors discuss the importance of standards in curriculum and lesson planning, and introduce a dialogue process to help stakeholders come to consensus about what students should know and be able to do.

In addition, this resource offers:

o Step-by-step directions for developing standards

o Guidelines for designing teaching plans based on standards

o Strategies for using standards to integrate the curriculum

Also included are examples of actual standards-based teaching plans for different content areas, courses, and levels. The revised edition includes the latest research about standards and curriculum design, expanded coverage of the development of criterion standards, increased attention to assessment, and new sample teaching plans.

Index

"This book is a distinct contribution to the field given today’s accountability-heavy educational environment. An understanding of how to work successfully with standards is critical to student and teacher success."

Stacey Edmonson, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership
Sam Houston State University

"It seems you can’t talk to any American teacher today without hearing about the pressure to raise test scores and ‘cover’ standards. Perna and Davis help schools and teachers navigate the standards movement by creating a common language and step-by-step approach that brings state standards from an abstract--and sometimes feared--document to a powerful classroom tool."

Billie Donegan, School Improvement Coach
Keystone Educational Services, Woodlan Park, CO

"The authors have designed a process that respects the teacher’s professionalism and works to collaborate with parents in a discussion about standards and possible educational outcomes without becoming mechanical."
