Aligning Standards and Curriculum for Classroom Success by Daniel M. Perna

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.

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.

Aligning Standards and Curriculum for Classroom Success Reviews

"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

"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

"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."

-- From the Foreword by Fenwick W. English
