Welcome to the home of the Aligned·By·Design system, the new knowledge-centric solution for every teacher implementing standards-based instruction including the Common Core State Standards.
Aligned·By·Design is a cloud computing system for:
• Standards content break down
• Classroom instruction development
• Teacher built and managed assessments
• Student learning management and tracking
• Professional communities for sharing and collaboration
Our web-based system provides unified tools designed to make teachers’ jobs easier while improving student outcomes. The system provides a rich and productive environment with integrated communications, sharing and collaboration with other educators in professional communities you can create and join. From standards decomposition to writing lesson plans and assessments and to tracking and managing student learning, we have the quality solution to make you and your students succeed.
The system focuses on supporting and simplifying educational processes to achieve quality outcomes. Our first principle is that sustainably high teacher and student success will only occur in a proper environment. We call establishing this environment 'teacher provisioning' – supplying teachers with tools and information that enables and encourages quality work. We believe that proper teacher provisioning will improve classroom operations and raise student success.
As a critical first process step, the system helps you with the complex work of breaking down standards into useful operational level content - the specific content that students are expected to know and be able to do. It’s the teaching, learning and validation grain size used in the classroom. We call this 'operationalizing' the standards and our tools make this work easier and faster for teachers and enhance the effort with professional communities for collaboration and sharing.
Beyond operationalizing the standards, the system provides extensive tools for classroom instruction development, teacher managed assessments, and student learning management and tracking. The operational level content serves as the common denominator and underlying link between standards and learning that is readily understood by teachers, students and parents as the educational objectives.
