Product Description
Power Standards is a step-by-step, practical manual that explains how educators can distinguish the Power Standards--standards that are absolutely necessary for student success--from those that are nice to know. Larry Ainsworth shows all educators not only how to create a prioritized subset of their own state or district standards, but also how to use these Power Standards to guide the development of meaningful curriculum and assessment. The straightforward and easy-to-read format enables readers to immediately apply these proven, practical strategies and to significantly improve achievement for all students--by first identifying the standards that matter the most!

Revolutionary teaching! June 10, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

The concepts in this book, along with those found in Larry's other book, Unwrapping the Standards, can revolutionize the way state standards are met in the classroom. I recently had the honor of meeting Larry in person and taking a four day workshop from him. He is a wonderful human being who is passionate about teaching children in a manner that actually matters. I have implemented some of Larry's strategies in my own classroom, and my students found them engaging and exciting. These books are well written and packed with information. Although I would recommend taking a workshop from Larry in order to make the best use of the books, one could certainly read the books independently and use them effectively.
