Jamy,
 
You might also want to take a look at the Standards section of the Adult
Literacy Education (ALE) Wiki:
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Standards
 
It has links to useful resources as well as some information on
Standards implementation in the U.S. and Internationally.

implementingcontentstandards?


Hi,
 
I'm glad you asked that question.  We in MO are in the process of
piloting our Content Standards.  We just started the 16 hour workshop
today.  We have a group of teachers from various size and types of
classrooms from around the state.  They will pilot about 6 months, and
during that time we will have a couple of meetings for them to discuss
and evaluate how the CS are working/being presented/etc.  At the end of
the 6 months, we will evaluate what has happened with the CS, re-write
or tweak the standards and then prepare to begin implementation next
summer.
 
I have also wondered how other states have piloted/implemented and what
has worked/not worked.  Any tips would be appreciated.  If you are
interested in our agenda, let me know.
 
Cheers,
JP

contentstandards?

	Hello:

	This question is for states that are applying content standards.
What are the processes or strategies you use to monitor the
implementation of standards in your state? This seems to be the next
step after formulation of the standards.

	Best,

	Dahlia Shaewitz
