Colleagues,

What do state content standards look like as implemented in the  
classroom?

Here's a free resource that may be of interest to those implementing  
content standards and that might help to answer that question. The  
Media Library of Teaching Skills (MLoTS) for adult learning and  
literacy project is an online digital library of short videos of  
adult education teachers and their classes, intended for use in  
professional development. Each video is an example of a state- 
approved content standard, research-based practice, preferred  
approach, or specific teaching method or skill. In some cases these  
videos are examples in practice of a particular state's approved  
curriculum frameworks or content standards.

The videos on the main page, http://mlots.org were made and edited by  
the MLoTS Team. The linked videos, http://mlots.org/ 
Other_video.html , were made by others. The online library project  
began in March, 2007, and has grown since then to include over 60  
short videos.  State content standards people who are interested in  
having classroom videos based on their own state standards could  
contact me for more information. Those who know of good classroom or  
tutorial adult education videos (including basic literacy, ABE, ASE,  
ESOL/ESL, numeracy, and transition to Higher Ed) that could be  
digitized and made available (at no cost) in the MLoTS online video  
library could also contact me.
