Standards Plus® is a supplemental program that contains lessons and assessments that are designed to increase student comprehension and learning. Lessons are written specifically to all grade level standards. They are led by teachers, and students have multiple opportunities to practice appropriate grade-level standards in each lesson.
Because Standards Plus lessons are designed to provide immediate teacher feedback throughout each lesson, students receive real-time remediation. This reinforces learning, ensures that students do not practice errors, and helps students retain information to crystalize their learning.
Teachers are the most important factor in student learning. That’s why every Standards Plus lesson is directly taught by a teacher.
“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).
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.
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.
“The most powerful single modification that enhances achievement is feedback.” (John Hattie, 1992) Every lesson provides immediate feedback to the students.
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.
