Why Standards Plus Increases Student Achievement
Teachers:
Teachers are the most important factor in student learning. That’s why every Standards Plus lesson is directly taught by a teacher.
Direct Instruction Format:
“Direct Instruction is a proven method of instruction that fosters the most significant gains in student achievement and results in deep and enduring understanding of the concept.” (Peladeau, Forget & Gagne, 2003).
Discrete learning targets:
Each lesson has a clear learning objective, providing easily understood instruction which allows students to learn and retain the information in their long term memory.
Multiple Exposures to Each Standard/Skill:
Each standard/skill is broken down and presented in at least 4 lessons (sometimes more) providing multiple opportunities to practice and develop a deep understanding of a specific skill allowing for long term retention.
Immediate Feedback:
“The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback.” (John Hattie, 1992) Every lesson provides immediate feedback to the students.
Immediate Intervention:
For students who need further instruction to master a standard/skill, immediate intervention lessons are available that scaffold below grade level and provide the necessary instruction that allows students to master the standard.
