Synopsis

Content standards have become the central focus of instruction in almost every classroom across the country. This timely book addresses the critical need for a process of instructional design that allows K–12 teachers to maintain their creativity within the increasing pressures of external accountability.

Grounded in actual classroom practice, this user-friendly book:

• Presents a field-tested approach to standards-based instruction that is widely respected by the teachers who have used it.
• Supports high-quality and engaging classroom instruction that is founded upon a comprehensive understanding of content standards.
• Explains a clear process for designing and delivering instruction in a way that invests both teachers and students.
