Making Standards Work: How to Implement Standards-Based Assessments in the Classroom, School, and District, Second Edition

States and districts are adopting new standards. Now what? The promise of the standards movement will accomplish nothing if it does not lead to changes in the classroom, school, and district. How do you transform these standards into reality? This book is a full-length manual that tells you how to implement standards-with a comprehensive step-by-step approach, extensive appendices, checklists, glossary, bibliography, and sample assignments and assessments. This book is the result of Dr. Reeves' work in small rural school districts, complex urban school districts, multifaceted school systems with more than ten million students, and hundreds of workshops and speaking engagements nationally.
