Standards Aligned Classroom (SAC)

What can the Standards-Aligned Classroom (SAC) Program do for you and your students?  

This research-based program involves both teachers and students in the standards process through development of clear learning targets and classroom lessons and assessments structured to achieve these targets.  SAC utilizes the Professional Learning Community model that affords teachers the opportunity to learn and share best practices of a standards-led classroom.  A unique aspect of SAC is its coaching component.  Educational consultants provided through the PDA meet with teacher teams to provide support and guidance throughout the school year.  SAC makes a powerful difference in student learning and motivation.  Re-energize your instruction and your students.  Form a SAC Team today.
