For me, it's not so much the standards-based lessons as the data system behind the scenes that I am curious about.  Just the example of the Common Core for ELA provides a set of standards for which it will be a challenge to build the user interface, and an equal (greater?) challenge to keep track of student attempts to meet the standards.
  There simply MUST be solutions out there ready to go for this, but of course we are all going to consider whether it is going to work out better to build our own.  Tons and tons of design considerations…..
  I would be happy to hear from anyone else who is wrestling with this, and even (dare I say it?) from vendors who have a ready solution.

We've been doing a ton of work in RSU2 moving into a standards based environment. It hasn't been easy but after this year we will be standards based k-12. What sorts of resources would you like to see?

To follow up on my comments at the ACTEM meeting....

 I think we need to pull together some examples of what standards based lessons look like...especially for high school subjects.

Technology will be essential in carrying out this kind of education but I don't think it needs to be the focus, as it is on this school's site.
<http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/gradelevel.php>http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/gradelevel.php
but I like the idea of this type of a webpage.

Ideally, we would find some topics typically covered in high school classes and show how they might be handled differently in a more student centered class. I think teachers would be excited about the prospect of this change if they could see it in practice.

Anyone want to work on this with me?

Best,
Laura
