About the Book

"This is the first book that I have encountered, in all my years of leading districts through curriculum alignment, that makes the process manageable and doable." —Jody L. Ware, Superintendent Mundelein Consolidated High School, IL "This book will allow schools and districts to effectively align standards, curriculum, and assessments to establish continuity between departments and across grade levels." —Sharon Madsen Redfern, Principal Highland Park Elementary School. Lewistown, MT Align your curriculum for success with Power Standards Schools continually face the challenge of developing a useful, aligned curriculum that can effectively support student achievement and assessment. This book gives administrators and teachers the tools to make it happen. Award-winning educator Joe Crawford describes how to build the aligned curriculum that is so crucial to student success. The key is identifying Power Standards—the most critical skills that all learners must have. These skills are then taught in a logical sequence of instruction throughout the year. Key benefits of this process include: A standards-based curriculum developed by teachers and leaders Consistent objectives throughout the school A common assessment system for measuring student success A one-page curriculum outline that eases communication with all stakeholders This manual is loaded with examples, practical advice, and checklists. Readers also have access to a corresponding Web-based software package that facilitates the process electronically and stores the curriculum plan on the Internet. Lead your school to excellence with Power Standards!
