The
El Paso Urban Systemic Program, funded by the National Science
Foundation, is committed to assisting teachers create academically
rigorous standards-based classrooms where all students meet
high academic standards. In order for this to occur, teachers
must make numerous decisions regarding a variety of interrelated
educational issues that influence student learning: national,
state and local standards; linkage of the curriculum being implemented
and assessed to the standards; the classroom environment; the
pedagogy selected to teach the curriculum; the routines and
procedures used within the classroom; and even the depth of
their own content knowledge.
This document is aimed at providing
research-based theories and best practices that can guide teachers
in establishing content-rich standards-based classrooms that
foster student thinking and problem solving, provide meaningful
learning experiences, encourage intellectual development and
ultimately promote higher academic success for all their students.
