A Teacher’s Guide to Standards-Based Learning systematically shows how standards-referencing defines and unifies planning, instruction, and assessment. The book is more than a “how-to” primer; it explains why as well as telling how, contains helpful charts for teacher use, and provides a wealth of suggestions for involving students in the process of using standards not only as the end point of learning, but as part of the journey.”

Susan M. Brookhart, Consultant, Brookhart Enterprises LLC
