Recenzii

"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."

"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."

"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."
