2What is a Standard?
- A standard is a description of something you
want a student to learn.
- A standard tells us what students should
know and be able to do.
- Standards are designed to help students do
better work in school.
3Why Are We Moving to Standards Based Curriculum?
- The state of California now requires all
students to receive instruction in and
master the standards for each grade level.
4What Does this Mean To My Childs Education?
- Standards-based instruction is key
- to ensuring your childs success.
- Everyone will know the standards
- Students
- Parents
- Teachers
5How Will Student Achievement Be Measured?
- Students achievement will be measured by
comparing each students performance to
clearly stated criteria for the standard.
- Standards-based reports clearly communicate
student progress, towards mastery of each
standard.
6What Will The New Report Look Like?
- The standards-based report will inform parents
about students progress towards mastery of the
standards using a rubric score of - Advanced
- Proficiency
- Approaching
