Students can achieve high standards if teachers have adequate resources.
It is essential that teachers, students, and classrooms have the resources necessary to implement the standards. Teachers need to be a part of the decision-making process that determines what resources are procured and how they are allocated. Furthermore, all teachers, no matter where they teach or whom they teach, should have support from the school, district, and community to provide students with the resources that they need. The implementation of standards is not solely the work of teachers. Parents, administrators, and the students themselves need to be knowledgeable about standards and expectations.
