But how can districts make adequate yearly progress without a coherent system for addressing state standards? In \u003ci\u003eFrom Standards to Success\u003c\/i\u003e, education professor Mark R. O’Shea introduces the Standards Achievement Planning Cycle (SAPC), a comprehensive protocol for meeting the standards.\u003cp\u003eTo illustrate his multi-layered approach, O’Shea takes readers to a fictional school as it prepares to install the SAPC. We meet the superintendent, who organizes the district for curriculum reform; the principal, who supervises standards-based instruction; and the teachers, who collaboratively plan lessons and evaluate their students’ work. From teacher observation to student assessment, O’Shea offers innovative strategies to help school leaders \u003cbr\u003e* identify and analyze which standards are most important\u003cbr\u003e* select appropriate curriculum materials and resources\u003cbr\u003e* provide instructional planning time for teachers\u003cbr\u003e* create a benchmark-testing program \u003cbr\u003e* design effective professional development\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChecklists at the end of each chapter highlight best practices, and sample lessons show how to plan curriculum that enables students to meet state standards.
