As educators, we are always looking for ways to improve our craft, and readers will find this to be a great resource. In this book, teachers will find answers to common questions and concerns related to standards-based learning environments and develop confidence to communicate with students, parents, and colleagues regarding the change in practice. They will also gain much needed practical advice, examples, and processes to implement in a standards-based classroom.<br/> </em>--Garnet Hillman, Author and Educational Consultant, Hillman Consulting (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em></em>The Standards-Based Classroom: A Practical Approach <em>really is practical! With a plethora of examples and models and great suggestions that are organized to be easily read and quickly learned, this book is a must-have for any teacher considering stepping up their game to increase student learning.</em><em></em>--Renee Peoples, Teaching and Learning Coach, Swain County Schools (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>This book provides practical, realistic, and useful guidance to achieve its desired outcome. The authors take the 50,000-foot view of the best instructional, assessment, grading, and reporting practices that comprise the different parts of standards-based learning and integrate them into a practical system that improves learning for all students. Then they go to ground level to show how each piece works. </em>The Standards-Based Classroom <em>provides an outline or blueprint for developing a system that will improve the opportunities for learning for all students. </em><em><br/> </em>--Hugh O′Donnell, Education Consultant, Mentor Learning, LLC (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><em>This book takes much of the guesswork out of becoming a highly efficient and effective teacher in a standards-based system. The authors have thought deeply about (and explained) many of the ′road block′ issues and provide both theory and practice to support teachers doing this work. This system helped me as the instructor and helped my students achieve at the level in which they desire. </em>The Standards-Based Classroom <em>leans on the work of the experts in the field in a very pragmatic way and makes it a great resource for teachers seeking to engage in standards-based work.</em><em><br/> </em>--Dr. Tom Buckmiller, Professor of Education, Drake University (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em></em>The Standards-Based Classroom<em> provides teachers with a practical guide to implement standards-based learning in their classrooms. The authors provide a perfect balance of context and commentary, practical examples, challenges, and suggestions for further exploration. Readers can use this book to transform their pedagogy and practice to better meet the needs of all learners with a standards-based approach.</em></p> <br/>--Brian M. Stack, High School Principal, Sanborn Regional High School, NH (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>If you are looking for that one book that explains teaching and learning, then this is it. Full of practical advice, suggestions, and further readings, the authors discuss and illustrate concepts with a clarity that is seldom witnessed in educational literature.</em></p> <br/>--Dr. Ken Darvall, Principal, Tema International School (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p><em>Most of us know that middle and especially high school educators can be reluctant to implement authentic standards-based learning, including grading and reporting. By having secondary authors and practitioners speaking to secondary educators, this book is right on target for what's needed in the field right now and captures the right spirit of what standards-based learning is all about.</em><br/> <br/> </p> <p> </p> <br/>--Becca Lindahl, Ed.D., Professional Learning & Leadership Consultant (2/15/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br>
