Use standards to drive instructionIn the book The 12 Touchstones of Good Teaching: A Checklist for Staying Focused Every Day, authors Bryan Goodwin and Elizabeth Ross Hubbell share, "in high-performing schools, teachers use standards and curriculum guides as guideposts to ensure they're covering what's most important for students to learn each step of the way" (p. 6-7).They further add, "that when we ask students to expect more from themselves, they usually rise to meet our expectations" (p. 7).
