Stanadrds Based Classroom
Standards-based education is a process for planning, delivering, monitoring and improving academic programs in which clearly defined academic content standards provide the basis for content in instruction and assessment.
- Standards help ensure students learn what is important, rather than allowing textbooks to dictate classroom practice.
- Student learning is the focus - aiming for a high and deep level of student understanding that goes beyond traditional textbook-based or lesson-based instruction.
A standards-based system:
- measures its success based on student learning (the achievement of standards) rather than compliance with rules and regulations.
- aligns policies, initiatives, curriculum, instruction, and assessments with clearly defined academic standards.
- consistently communicates and uses standards to focus on ways to ensure success for all students.
- uses assessment to inform instruction.
We use the numerical system of 1, 2, and 3
1= Does not meet the Standards
2= In progress toward the Standards
3= Meets or Exceeds the Standards
