Product Information

Helen L. Burz & Kit Marshall

Traditionally, textbooks and curriculum guides have reflected a focus on content coverage. The results have been to place an emphasis on what students need to “know”, often with little direction regarding the role of relevance and meaning for the learning.

Increasingly, educators, parents, business and industry leaders, and community leaders, throughout the United States expect students to be able to demonstrate what it is that they’ve learned.

This book will show you how to develop a performance-based science curriculum based on nationally recommended standards that shifts the focus from “knowing” to “showing”, and from the traditional focus on content to a student-centered focus that aligns selected content with quality and context.

Provides a logical framework for an incremental transition to a performance-based orientation with benchmarks to help access what students should know at the end of grades 3, 5, 8, and 12, and performance benchmarks templates you can customize.

192 pp., softcover.
