Goals and Objectives

Goals

Participants will become familiar with standards-based learning and the role it plays in a student's education.

Objectives

  • Understand and define standards-based learning (i.e. what it means and what it looks like)

  • Understand why schools choose standards-based learning and what the benefits are

  • Understand where your student is with their learning of the standard and how you know they can apply their knowledge

  • Understand and reflect how standards-based learning is different from traditional learning

The learning cycle featured in this project is based on the STAR Legacy Cycle developed by the IRIS Center (2013; http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu), and based on the work of Dr. John Branford and colleagues (National Research Council, 2000).
