O'Shea (education, California State University-Monterey Bay) introduces the Standards Achievement Planning Cycle (SAPC), a protocol for meeting state educational standards. To illustrate his approach, he takes readers to a fictional school as it prepares to install the SAPC. He outlines methods for identifying which standards are most important, selecting appropriate curriculum materials, providing instructional planning time for teachers, and designing effective professional development. Chapter checklists highlight best practices, and sample lessons show how to plan a curriculum that enables students to meet state standards.
