Addressing the Challenges of Meeting Educational Goals

Aligned·By·Design addresses primary educational goals and challenges. A·B·D enables States, LEAs and Teachers to work collaboratively or independently to increase student achievement and improve graduation rates with a unified approach.

Aligned·By·Design addresses the challenges of improving student achievement by leveraging technology to develop and maintain Standards, Curriculum and Assessments. Aligned·By·Design integrates an end-to-end workflow system that aligns Standards, Curriculum and Assessment to improve classroom instruction. Aligned·By·Design contains usable content materials including rigorous, detailed Standards aligned with model instructional Curriculum for Teachers to use directly or as a template which are guaranteed to align to EOY tests. Aligned·By·Design can be used by State Departments of Education, LEAs, and Teachers and is applicable to all subjects and grades.

With Aligned·By·Design, complete instructional Curriculum models can be developed at the State level and promulgated to LEAs and Teachers for direct adoption and use, or simply for use as a reference model of perfectly aligned, classroom usable materials.  At the same time, Aligned·By·Design functionality extends beyond the State and offers LEAs and Teachers the tools and processes necessary to develop their own completely aligned instructional Curriculum independently or based on the State or other model Curriculum.

As Aligned·By·Design is implemented, Teachers require less time and effort to prepare instructional curriculum for use in the classroom. By utilizing content from Aligned·By·Design libraries and actually hosting the classroom Curriculum using the Aligned·By·Design system, instructional Curriculum is guaranteed to be 100% aligned.

The Aligned·By·Design technology enables educators to follow a proven quality model. The application of Aligned·By·Design by States and Districts will result in a significant, measurable improvement in student achievement levels because the system provides educators with the tools and durable processes required to develop, maintain and manage a truly aligned, benchmarked and rigorous Standards-based educational system.

The Aligned·By·Design tools and processes allow any State to achieve its visionary goal by enabling it to:

·   Refine and contain State Standards at their primitive, Knowledge-linked, detailed level;

·   Have an Aligned·By·Design system that aligns its refined academic Standards to rigorous instructional Curriculum including functional lesson plans and State Assessments;

·   Provide all Districts and Teachers access to these tools and processes and the ability to utilize them at the classroom level.
