Success for ALL Students Content Standards and Benchmarks A s standards and benchmarks are implemented in the early stages, you probably won't see a great deal of change in your child's classroom.
Students go to school a set number of hours a day and days per year.
In many ways, this limits those who can move faster while not giving students who need additional help time to catch up. Teachers, given the freedom to use a variety of teaching methods, will enable children to reach standards at different paces. Teaching styles will vary from classroom to classroom. From the beginning, students and parents will know exactly what is expected. This will challenge students to perform at high standards.
