Summary

Many teaching practices are “inherited” from previous generations of teachers, but not all of these fit well into a standards-based system that requires all parts of the learning process to be aligned with those standards.

In this webinar, participants learned how to use a set of planning tools to adapt traditional activities to align them with standards.

In addition, they learned to use these tools to create their own engaging learning activities that will take learners to mastery of the academic standards.
