About this title

Synopsis

Foreword by Larry E. Frase

The classic book on curriculum alignmentupdated for the 21^st century!

This seminal text on developing, aligning, and auditing curriculum has now been reissued to achieve even greater impact. Since the early 1990s, Deciding What to Teach and Test has been a key component in curriculum alignment and professional development programs across the country.

It is a powerful, up-to-date tool to help teachers become more involved in curriculum planning and practice. The Millennium Edition provides an updated perspective on improving student achievement with a new preface, foreword, and listing of recent research.

Betty Steffy and The Video Journal of Education have joined with Fenwick W. English and Corwin Press to offer this Millennium Edition, a video companion, and a new Facilitators Guide. Further background and depth to Englishs work is available in Developing, Aligning, and Auditing Curriculum, presented by The Video Journal of Education. This videotape offers a powerful personal presentation by English as he illustrates how to maximize student achievement by aligning what is written, taught, and tested.

To complete this extraordinary program, Betty Steffys Curriculum Alignment: A Facilitators Guide to Deciding What to Teach and Test offers a bridge between these two works. In it, Steffy shows educators how to create learning and staff development activities that apply and extend the ideas presented in the best-selling book and videotape.

Its a valuable time-saving kit for the busy administratorand available in a variety of configurations to fit any program and budget.
