Standards-Based Classrooms
The major characteristics of standards-based classrooms
are as follows:
 Teachers develop clear learning outcomes for each
lesson based on the academic content standards they
are teaching, and they communicate this information
to their students and to students’ families.
 Student progress is measured against a clearly stated
and understood standard.
 Time and support are varied depending on the needs
of each student.

 Students are guided in their work by models

learning, their backgrounds, and the real
world.
