Instruction+-+Standards+&+Assessment

Awareness

Understanding I am beginning to plan my instructional units knowing that standards should drive instruction. Classroom planning, instruction and assessments begin to show standards-based practices aligned to standards that are learner centered.

1st Implementation I have started to implement procedures, policies and instructionals strategies that are learner-centered (e.g., lesson planning, student progress through content area levels, student/teacher/principal evaluation tools, recording and reporting procedures) within standards-based instruction in content area(s) for which I am responsible.

Routine Use My instruction and assessment are mostly standards-based and instructional strategies are learner centered. My decision-making regarding instructional resources is based on learner needs. I use existing resources and/or programs that aligned but may have been abandoned.
