Purpose

Did you know that the education field, specifically classroom learning, has been structured the same for the past 100 years? Modern medicine, technology, laws, and other fields have evolved and improved. Yet classroom learning has not, despite a lack of supporting research. (Marzano, 2000; Townsley & Buckmiller, 2016).

This learning module educates parents/guardians and teachers new to the practice to understand what standards-based learning is, why a school system would use it, how to know when students are learning the standards, and the difference from traditional learning.
