Baldrige Education Criteria - 0 views
-
The Baldrige is a set of criteria that assess a combination of three interrelated aspects common to all systems. It is first of all a measure of the capacity of various system components and connections. The Baldrige Criteria force us to assess the system components and determine how well they are working together to achieve the organization's goals. Baldrige is also a process for determining which components and which connections add value and which do not add value. Finally, Baldrige is a blueprint for guiding the development of a well-connected system capable of high performance.

The Baldrige Criteria, when fully implemented, result in a well-aligned, well-coordinated and integrated system of practices capable of meeting and exceeding the needs, expectations, and requirements of its stakeholders.

Critical Issue: Integrating Standards into the Curriculum - 0 views
-
"ISSUE: Many educators and advisory groups emphasize high standards as an important factor in improving the quality of education for all students. As a result, schools and districts are looking at ways to develop a high-quality curriculum that is based on standards. An important starting point for this effort is a carefully thought-out curriculum framework that reflects the standards and goals for which the education community is willing to be held accountable. Developing a standards-based curriculum requires changes in the way teachers teach and schools are run, so care must be taken to build capacity for all educators and to provide adequate time for implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the curriculum. The curriculum-development process also should provide opportunities for reflection and revision so that the curriculum is updated and improved on a regular basis. "

CAST has drawn on the neuroscience of learning and the study of media to develop the concept of Universal Design for Learning. The central practical premise of UDL is that a curriculum should include alternatives to make it accessible and appropriate for individuals with different backgrounds, learning styles, abilities, and disabilities in widely varied learning contexts.
-
UDL provides a framework that helps teachers differentiate their instruction through carefully articulated goals and individualized materials, methods, and assessments.
