Generating Standards-Based Lessons: Planning and Implementing Lessons in the Age of Standards

Use your standards and the levels of Bloom s Taxonomy to design your content lessons. By using Bloom s Key verbs in the standards in your lesson planning, you can align the lessons with the standards, raising student learning levels and test scores.

John takes you through his easy-to-follow How-To process:
# Diagnose
# Differentiate
# Design

Learn how to layer your lessons, using the same Standard Indicator, Expectation, or Objective for each student, the same resources, same lesson, and same assessments. Students reach mastery using modifications, basic learning skills, and extend mastery using enrichment, extension, or acceleration. The layers are based on diagnosed instructional need and Bloom s Taxonomy levels.

The accompanying CD includes customizable WORD files and 50 PDF files to duplicate for teachers and students.
