Academic standards were designed to keep the focus on learning, rather than on testing. However, to keep instruction aligned with standards, teachers need to be able to accurately, fairly, and consistently measure and record student learning. They need to understand the who, what, where, when, and why before they can tackle the how.

This laminated Quick Reference Guide makes it easy for teachers to do just that. Developed by education consultant Ken O’Connor, it gives educators access to valuable guidance about easy-to-implement grading procedures, as well as standards-based report cards and progress reports for elementary, middle school, and high school students.
