Integrating Lifelong Learning
In this course, we have examined the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Standards Aligned System (SAS) and how it is a comprehensive approach that aligns Interventions, Materials and Resources, Instruction, Curriculum Framework, Fair Assessments and Clear Standards to support student achievement. We have also explored how to use SAS to tailor instruction to develop critical thinking skills that students will need throughout their lives. In this module we will examine some of the challenges that you may face in fully taking advantage of all that SAS has to offer. We are also going to challenge you to really think about how you can help your students become lifelong learners.
