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.
